IPC-2581 Interface
PollEx PCB supports IPC-2581 file such as *.cvg and *.xml files.
The IPC-2581 ASCII format has three revisions: Type A, Type B, and Type C. Pollex
supports Type A and B.
Note: For Cadence Allegro exports,
"USERDEF" function mode is recommended. Padstack definitions are required; other
function modes are incompatible with Pollex.
