Manufacture User Guides
This section contains the user guides for the following tools: Block JIG Generator, Compare GDSII, Gerber to PCB, Make Board Paneling, Metal Mask Manager, Mounting Data Extractor, Mounting Emulator, Router-Machine JIG Generator, Solder Quantity Calculator, Soldering Pallet, Test Point Location Generator, and Underfill.
Gerber to PCB
Gerber to PCB is a PCB generator from graphical Gerber or ODB++ file which is non-intelligent data.
ODB++ GUI
To make intelligent PCB design data, you have four different processes, Layer Setting, Make Component, Make Netlist, and Result Information.
Result Information
Once the PCB design generation is completed, review the results of Net, Net Topology, Summary, and Nominal Resistance.

- Manufacture User Guides
  This section contains the user guides for the following tools: Block JIG Generator, Compare GDSII, Gerber to PCB, Make Board Paneling, Metal Mask Manager, Mounting Data Extractor, Mounting Emulator, Router-Machine JIG Generator, Solder Quantity Calculator, Soldering Pallet, Test Point Location Generator, and Underfill.
  - Block JIG Generator
    Block JIG Generator is used for the purpose of stable supporting the bare PCB and evenly applying lead in the screen printer equipment that prints the solder cream during the SMD process.
  - Compare GDSII
    The Compare GDSII function performs the function of verifying the consistency between the data in the specific layer of PDBB and the GDSII file.
  - Gerber to PCB
    Gerber to PCB is a PCB generator from graphical Gerber or ODB++ file which is non-intelligent data.
    - Launch ODB++
      Launch ODB++.
    - ODB++ GUI
      To make intelligent PCB design data, you have four different processes, Layer Setting, Make Component, Make Netlist, and Result Information.
      - Layer Setting
        To generate a PCB design file using ODB++ data, it is required to properly load the necessary files for the layers. When the required data is imported, you need to match the data to create the PCB design file.
      - Create Component
        After completing the layer setting, you can create components automatically or manually.
      - Make Netlist
        After part creation is completed, generate the routing nets using vias, pins, and patterns.
      - Result Information
        Once the PCB design generation is completed, review the results of Net, Net Topology, Summary, and Nominal Resistance.
    - Launch Gerber + IPC-D-356
      Launch Gerber + IPC-D-356.
    - Gerber + IPC-D-356 GUI
      To make the intelligent PCB design data, you need to set layers of component, drill, and stack-up.
  - Make Board Paneling
    Use Make Board Paneling to modify the data designed with a single sub board into an array type to use manufacturing related features, such as Metal Mask Manager, Mounting Emulator, Block JIG Generator, and Router-Machine JIG Generator.
  - Metal Mask Manager
    Metal Mask Manager is a tool that can register standard metal mask database, manage metal mask changing history, and check differences between design and standard metal mask.
  - Mounting Data Extractor
    The PollEx Mounting Data Extractor function extracts components and PCB information for chip mounter from PCB design data. It is included in the PollEx PCB Modeler.
  - Mounting Emulator
    Mounting Emulator is a mounter assembly checking toolset based on 3D package part libraries constructed with Unified Part Editor (UPE).
  - Router-Machine JIG Generator
    Quickly generate design drawing for manufacturing JIG using PCB design data and panel PCB Gerber of array board.
  - Solder Quantity Calculator
    The Solder Quantity Calculator provides evidence to get numerical calculation and solder quantity based on whole mask space and user-defined conditions.
  - Soldering Pallet
    Learn how to use PollEx Soldering Pallet.
  - Test Point Location Generator
    Generate test points and extract location and data from designs.
  - Underfill
    Underfill Editor uses the PCB design data can easily produce the coordinate data of the nozzle movement path from the underfill equipment.
- Modeler User Guides
  This section contains the user guides for the following tools: BOM, CAM, Component Arrangement Plan, CP, Golden Sample, Logic, PCB, Redmark+, and Worksheet Planner.
- Solver User Guides
  This section contains the user guides for the following tools: PI, SI, SI Explorer, and Thermal.
- Verification User Guides
  This section contains the user guides for the following tools: DFA, DFE, DFE+, DFM, and Logic DFE.
- UPE User Guides
  This section contains the PollEx UPE user guide.
