Gerber export without large boarders

Hi,
we want to export an Ultiboard PCB to Gerber for submitting to a manufacturer. Our problem is that the exported files are larger than the PCB itself because it includes some marks around the PCB itself. The picture below shows the PCB outline and the 3 circles that we want to remove from the Gerber file.
Is it possible to exclude this area and have only the PCB itself in the Gerber file because we have to pay for the area around as well (and don't want to :-) )
Has someone an answer?
Thanks in advance
Holger

There are more ways to change your gerber file contents - you can change the layer for objects on your ultiboard layout e.g. you can set the whole to silkscreen top or mechanical layer - so when you export each layer to a gerber file you see not longer the object before.
Second way is to change settings in global preferences like the post here before from ajt.
Third way is to open the exported gerber file by gerber editor and change the layer. Therefore you find some gerber free tools in internet
Look at the screenshot in my *.doc i attached here.
Best Regards
Johann

Gerber export problem with copper area's

Hi,
Just had a strange thing on a new design...
I'm using version 10.01 Ultiboard...
I have placed ground tracks and included them into a copper area, connected to the correct net...
So far no problem, but from time tot time the copper area diisapears on my screen.
When doing a DRC check, things get back to normal, all tracks are back into the copper area.
But on this design, when I received the PCB's, the tracks were not connected to the copper area...
probablt because I didn't do a last DRC check before exporting...
So if anyone had this problem, just do a DRC check and it probably gets fine....
By the way, I contacted my PCB producer (Eurocircuits) and they told me that Ultiboard had pretty bad export-data,
Apparently gerbers made by Ultiboard are not very 'production-friendly' , they especially mentioned that Ultiboard had 'weird polygons and copper areas'
I hope the NI designers read this and can try to improve the gerber export....
And I hope that in time there will be a real manual for the program, one that explains all possible option thoroughly...
Best regards from the rainy country

I've seen this export behavior, my fix was in the export > gerber properties : under options. I made sure I had all the option off except "allow Non-convex polygons" only check. I saw what you described if I had "merge polygons (slow)" checked.....so make sure it is UNCHECKED. That solved the problem for me

Can i export without double quotes in data files?

How can i export without double quotes in data files using dataexport commands in MaxL?

I don't know of any way to do any formatting in a straight export out of Essbase. BSO lets you choose between a columnar vs. free form (really Essbase) format. That lack of formatting includes removing double quotes.
If you're willing to put up with the limitations (and formatting issues) of an MDX extract to a log file, that approach does not put double quotes around member names. The same is true in Report Scripts although I have a vague recollection that you can put in double quotes if you want it -- obviously you do not.
There are limitations to the above two approaches, the biggest being that they they are not as efficient as a true MaxL export. OTOH, you may want only part of a database to get exported out in which case either approach may be more to your needs.
If in fact you do want to do a full export, there are lots of OS-level ways of removing double quotes. Here's a Windows-based approach:

What would life be without hacks like the above? Probably not worth living.

H.264 export without audio creates files that are not recognized in Quicktime or VLC

Dear all,
I need to generate h.264 files with video only. (short clips for use with a "clickable" catalog on an iPad)
Used the "H.264" category and chose a preset. Unchecked "Audio" so I only get the video exported.
The resulting .m4v file is not playable in Quicktime or VLC or MPEG streamclip.
When I leave audio enabled with the same preset, the file is fine, but as soon as I export without audio, the resulting file is unreadable.
Source material is ProRes 422HQ, audio+video, about 30-40 seconds long.
Any clues?
Carl.

Premiere 6.0.2

Thanks Jeff, I did get that far ;-)
I'm sorry, probably my question wasn't very clear. Of course I can find some technical info about the iPad...
And of course some of the presets in Media Encoder provide basic starting points for encoding.
But... there is also the first iPad, I couldn't find the specs about it on the Apple site. On everymac.com I found:
Apple reports that the iPad supports "H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats."
So if I want to be compatible with all iPads I need to probably stay under 720p30 with [email protected] for H.264
When I look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
I find (from the example values) that 1280x720@30p is quite near the maximum matrix size. So with 1024x576 I should be ok there. My bandwith of about 2Mbit is also well within range in this case. But what if I want to fill an iPod screen (1024x768) with the highest possible quality video? How do I calculate if this fits the max frame size requirements, where this is expressed in a number of luma samples and macroblocks? What is my max bandwith? The tables says that the "Max video bit rate for video coding layer (VCL) kbit/s" should be <14.000kbps. Does that directly translate to the sliders in my encoding app?
If you look in the table "AVC software implementations" (under Software encoder feature comparison) you can see that some features that are supported in MainConcept, and not supported in Qt. (8×8 vs. 4×4 transform adaptivity, Quantization scaling matrices, Separate Cb and Cr QP control, etc. What are these exactly?)
In Streamclip one can choose to have B-frames or not, in AME there is no such control. Does that mean it always encodes with B-frames? Why would one not want to have B-frames?
A lot of parameters in AME H.264 encoding seem to be set to certain fixed values that are not accessible to the user. Other programs (Sorensen, Telestream) provide the user with access to more parameters. Which parameters in AME are set to what (fixed, non-accessible) values and why?
As I said earlier, Quicktime reports different codecs for what should be the same format but from different encoders. Why? Is there a program that can analyze a H.264 stream and report about it in more detail than VLC/Quicktime?
etc. etc. etc....
If anyone could recommend an online resouce or a book to learn more about the ins and outs of H.264 encoding/decoding that would be great. I have the first edition of Charles Poynton's (brilliant!) book "Digital Video and HDTV", which does talk about MPEG-2 but not H.264. I saw that the second edition goes a bit more into detail about H.264. Does anyone have the second edition? Worth buying just for the relatively small addition about H.264?
Thanks.

Export without Markup - JavaScript Error (ExtractTemplateXML.js)

Whenever I try the "Export without Markup" function, I get this error:
"While executing onClick in ExtractTemplateXML.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred: At line 78 of file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\Configuration\Commands\ExtractTemplateXML.js": Exception thrown in native function."
How do I resolve this?

I know this post is old, but as I was having this issue lately, and managed to fix it - I thought I'd post the solution that worked for me, since I haven't seen it elsewhere.
In short:
Make sure there are no .zip files in the site you are exporting. I noticed my error was showing up right around when the export hit the folder where I had a .zip file.
Go through and delete all of the /_notes/ garbage folders that DW puts in your source site.
After I did both of these things, my export worked fine.

Problem with iPhoto or Aperture when I want to export a large slideshow

Hello,
I have a big problem when I want to export a large slideshow is created with iPhoto or Aperture. After ten minutes, my iMac off and then restart. I tried several times but the problem again.
I said that this slideshow contains photos and videos.
thank you

That can be caused by many things - try to narrow down, what is happening:
Does your slideshow have a problem?
Do the media in your slideshow have a problem?
Does your Aperture library need fixing?
A problem with your user account?
Video codecs?
Aperture?
Your Mac OS X?
Your Hardware?
Check, if you can export slideshows at all from your Aperture library. Create a new, emty slideshow for experimenting and add one video, an audio clip and one or two photos. Try to export. Does that work?
If yes, duplicate your original slideshow and delete half of the photos from it. can you export now? Continue to find the video or image that does not work.
If no slideshow can be exported from your current library try to create a simple test slidesho in a different library. Does it work?
Post back with your results.

IPhoto 11 9.2.1 export to large MPEG4 fail

I have been exporting many slideshows to the default large MPEG4 format. All of a sudden, the exported movies are blank after the first few slides (white frames), athough the music track is there. It will export to other sizes and to QuickTime format I have done a rebuild, reboot, delete plist. Problem persists.
Thanks, Valerie

I don't use a theme. A slideshow has around 30-40 slides with music. About 3-4 minute shows.
First, I used the iPhoto install that came with the new Air three months ago. No problem exporting many slideshows. Then the blank slides started appearing when I exported to large format (m4v). Seemed to work with other sizes and with Quick Time format (mov) for a while, then mov format started sending out blanks. If I rebuilt database and repaired permissions everytime I opened the program, I could export mov.
Went to Apple store and reinstalled iPhoto plus all updates. The first couple of slideshows exported fine, then the blanks appeared. Tried to rebuild/repair, but even this isn't working this time. Typically, the first 10 slides export, the rest is blank (white), although music is exported entirely.
Thanks.

EXPort (without Mat view logs)

Hi
Oracle10g, Win2003
Is there a way to take EXPort without "materialized view logs", as these logs cause error in IMPort and some time even terminate IMPort.
It will be equally well for me if i got a way to completely exclude "materialized view & materialized view logs" from EXPort.
Some one please guide me the way to exclude them from IMP or EXP?
Wishes

Additionally when ever I IMPort a user some objects appear in non-compiled state, I compile them with my client tool, but I have to drop and recreate materialized view every time.
Can come one have an improved way to get IMPort with materialized view?

Export without Markup - How ?

I can't figure out how to export without markup. I did it
before but now can't
What I want to do is export all the site pages and
images/scripts/etc without markup
I'm using DW 8
Would someone mind explaining this to a total dummie
Many thanks :-)

> I think I just want to strip out DW markup, leave the
html and code stuff

template but I'll make

the editing. There will

Refer to my first reply-
Dw menu-->Modify-->Templates-->Export without
markup.
export to a NEW folder, not within this site.
Then go to menu->Site-->Manage Sites.
Make a new site definition (or duplicate the present one)
Define this new site's Local Site Folder to where you
exported the files.
You now have two sites- One for editing, with the template
markup intact.
One for uploading with the template markup stripped.
Note- the template markup is a handful of html comments.
There isn't any
real advantage to stripping it out.

Export without Title Role

What I am wanting to do is export without Text a clean Timeline. What would be the suggested route to take? Have tried turning of the Title Role and Exporting and found the text is still there. Why? Suggestions Please or even better Answers.
P.S. Please Apple, Batch Export, Soon.

what do you mean by "role."
Look at the names of the title "clips." If they're all the same, simply do a find for the name in the sequence with find all. They will all be selected and hit control-b to disable them all.
When I finish a project, I find it useful to clean up the timeline and move all titles to a higher video track(s) so it's easy to turn this track's visibility off.

Export without crop

What I would like is an 'export without crop' option. I crop the pictures I export for my clients. But for my own use in inDesign I want them full frame. I was discussing this with some of my collegues and they would love this feature as well, they said....

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
hsbn wrote:
You can create virtual copy before doing the crop. That what I've done all the time.
Exactly, and this is how to do it after the crop to clean up your history of cropping:
Select the thumbs you have cropped and also want an uncropped version and add to a collection if they are in multiple folders
Select all the thumbs in the collection
Press ctr or cmd and ' (apostrophy) or from the menu: Photo > Make virtual copy
Press R to crop and Reset in the crop panel.
Assign a keyword or label to separate the cropped and uncropped versions if required
You will now have two versions of each photo, cropped and uncropped.

Lightroom exporting without LR adjustments

I've been happily exporting my LR images, and they have always included what ever adjustments I had made in LR - crop, color, etc. Last week I needed a different cropping of an image. I made a virtual copy, then cropped, selected, and exported only to find that the exported image was the original show, without any cropping or any other adjustments.
I needed the image quickly, so I just opened PS and edited manually, then saved for web.
Today I added some images to LR, edited them, and exported. All the images were original, unedited versions. I've checked the export dialogs, and do not see any options to export without edits (as there is in the "Edit in" dialog).
This lack pretty much cripples LR for me, as far as using it for any serious work. Anyone have this experience? Or more importantly, a fix?

I've been having a similar problem recently in Lightroom. At first I thought it was because I shot an event with fill-flash in daylight and I thought my white balance was messed up because of cross contamination of light. But, since that shoot 2 weeks ago EVERY other shoot (around 1,000 images) have been giving me very weird white balance problems. Essentially, my images seem "greyish" so, I boost temp and tint, I boost vibrance, I try all sorts of tweaking until the image looks passable, but not nearly my typical color and saturation look and feel. The processed images in Lightroom still seem a bit under saturated and just "not right." BUT, when I export them... they're OVER saturated - kinda like the numbers in Lightroom tell me the image should look. So, it seems that the display in Develop mode is under saturated and "off." But, I have no idea how to correctly compensate. I feel like I have some hidden setting set incorrectly - Any thoughts? Ideas greatly appreciated. If a screen grab would help I'll try that.
I'm in Lightroom 2.5 and Camera Raw 5.5
I'm on a PowerPC Mac running OS X 10.4.11
Jay
Message was edited by: jjlevan - I came back to post a screen grab from Lightroom and the JPG which looks like the Lightroom settings you see with the tint and vibrance boosted. But the Lightroom image looks UNDER saturated or almost normal.
