- 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.
  - 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.

CAP Data Setting - Polarity

In the Component Arrangement Plan Setting dialog, the Polarity section contains the following sections.

First Pin: Display the polarity mark by designating the part that shows the polarity at the first pin.
You can set the parts to display in the string filter dialog based on the reference, part and package names. When entering FL after selecting Prefix in the String Filter Set Up dialog, the polarity mark displays at the first pin of the reference name that starts with FL (case insensitive).
Figure 1.
Second Pin: Display the polarity mark by designating the part that shows the polarity at the second pin.
You can set the parts to display in the string filter dialog based on the reference, part, and package names.
User Defined Polarity Marking: For the parts marked with polarity at the specific location, the marking shape, location, and target components can be set directly.
Marking Type: Select the shape of the polarity mark.
1. Point: Display the polarity mark in circle shape. The marking position is selected among Left Top, Left Bottom, Right Top, Right Bottom, Top, Bottom, Left, Right, First Pin, or Second Pin.
2. Bar: Display the polarity mark in bold lines. The marking position is selected among Top, Bottom, Left, Right, First Pin, or Second Pin.
3. Arrow: Display the polarity mark in arrows. The marking position is selected as either Left or Right.
Position: Select where the polarity mark is placed. The marking position varies depending on the marking type.
Filter Type: Set the filter type to designate the component group to display the polarity mark, which is selected among reference, part, package, or DB file.
Filter/DB File Path: If the filter type is reference, part, or package, you can select the part having the specified string through the string filter function. If the filter type is DB file, you can select the pre-defined component DB file.
For more detailed information on how to create or edit a DB file, refer to Appendix: Edit Component DB File.
