(ultiboard 11) Customizing Gerber file names extensions

[jcayer]

Hi all,

I would like to know if it's possible to customize the gerber file names. For example: I would like the top file to be named "filename.TOP", or the bottom file "filename.BOT"   instead of "xyz.gbr" . Can it be configured or do I have to change the extensions manually ?

Thanks and best regards,

Jean

Hello ?

Hi,

Is there a specific reason why you are trying to accomplish this?

Hi,

Because we have a circuit board plotter (LPKF E44 model). The software controlling the machine uses specific file extensions. So I wanted to automate things a little bit instead of manually change the filenames. 🙂

Sorry, I do not see a way to automate this. There is an idea exchange website for Multisim and Ultiboard where you could suggest things like this:  https://forums.ni.com/t5/Multisim-and-Ultiboard-Idea/idb-p/multisimideas
