Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent processing technology, and specifically to a method, system and storage medium for automatically converting PCB working draft data output to PDF. Background Art

[0002] With the development of PCB technology, the requirements and standardization of automation technology have been further strengthened and optimized. In order to meet customer needs and continuously improve technology and services, for D05 series customers, each part number must provide customer original and working draft PDF files, and make a letter of acknowledgment for customer acknowledgment. Currently, there is no automated process, and personnel manually edit and convert PDF files, which takes a lot of time and is prone to errors, affecting work efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, this application provides a method, system and storage medium for automatically converting PCB working draft data output to PDF. By introducing an automated program to process customer originals and working draft PDF data, work efficiency can be significantly improved and errors and costs can be reduced.

[0004] In the first aspect, the present application proposes a method for automatically converting PCB work draft data output to PDF, the method comprising: S1: Configure the GS software package under the Genesis software; perform necessary configurations in the software environment, including setting file paths, layer management, and export options, to ensure that the GS software package can work properly and integrate with the Genesis software.

[0005] S2: Process the work draft before output; S3: Get the size of the Set puzzle, determine whether the set edge is in the X direction or the Y direction according to the size of the Set puzzle, and add the hole symbol to the corresponding position according to the determination result; S4: Select the output layer name, automatically add the symbol, and output the PDF file to the specified folder.

[0006] The present invention can quickly complete the conversion of working draft to PDF through the integration of software packages without manual intervention. Through pre-set parameters and automated processing, it reduces errors that may be introduced by manual operations, such as layer omissions, hole position errors, etc., thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of output files.

[0007] The step S1 comprises: Copy gs to the specified directory; Then copy the ps_merge file, ps_preview file, ps_tile file, and ps2pdf file to another specified directory.

[0008] The step S2 comprises: Get dd layer information from PCB design file; Get the size of the material name string block and the hole symbol block, and create symbols respectively; the definition of Symbol can include size, font, color and placement position; Determine the size of the symbol to ensure that the size of the symbol is consistent with the overall proportion of the design to avoid visual disharmony caused by inappropriate size during output.

[0009] The width and height of the string are obtained using the measurement tool of the design software.

[0010] The dd layer information includes: Part number name, a unique number or name used to identify each component on a circuit board.

[0011] Layer identifier, indicating the function or type of the layer (such as top layer, bottom layer, signal layer, etc.).

[0012] Date, usually the date of design or modification.

[0013] and hole symbol diagrams, which indicate hole locations and related information, to help determine the manufacturing and assembly requirements of the circuit board.

[0014] The effective implementation of step S2 can lay a good foundation for the subsequent process of outputting the working draft to PDF, ensuring that the design information is complete and accurate.

[0015] The step S3 comprises: In PCB design, the size of the panel determines the placement of the hole symbol module. In this application, according to the set size, when the panel is long in the Y direction, the hole symbol module is placed on the right side of the graphic, otherwise when the panel is long in the X direction, the hole symbol module is on the top.

[0019] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a method for automatically converting PCB working draft data output to PDF shown in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. Embodiment 1:

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application proposes a method for automatically converting PCB work draft data output to PDF, the method comprising: S1: Configure the gs software package under the genesis software; S2: Process the work draft before output; S3: Get the size of the Set puzzle, determine whether the set edge is in the X direction or the Y direction according to the size of the Set puzzle, and add the hole symbol to the corresponding position according to the determination result; S4: Select the output layer name, automatically add the symbol, and output the PDF file to the specified folder.

[0022] The step S1 comprises: Copy gs to the specified directory; Then copy the ps_merge file, ps_preview file, ps_tile file, and ps2pdf file to another specified directory.

[0023] Among them, the ps_merge file is usually used to merge multiple PostScript files. This file may contain a script or tool that can merge multiple separate PostScript files into one for subsequent processing or output.

[0024] The ps_preview file is used to generate a preview of a PostScript file, which can be used to view the layout and content of the file to ensure that there are no errors before final output.

[0025] The ps_tile file is used to process the tiled output of large drawings, including a method for cutting a large PostScript file into multiple small pieces. When the PCB design is large or complex, this tool can help split the design file to meet the output.

[0026] The ps2pdf file is used to convert PostScript files to PDF format. It is a command-line tool that accepts a PostScript file as input and generates a corresponding PDF file.

[0027] The step S2 comprises: Get dd layer information; Get the size of the material name string block and the hole symbol block, and create symbols respectively; Determine the size of the symbol.

[0028] The dd layer information includes: material number name, layer identification, date and hole symbol diagram.

[0029] The step S3 comprises: According to the set size, when the Y direction of the puzzle is long, the hole symbol module is placed on the right side of the figure, otherwise when the puzzle is long in the X direction, the hole symbol module is on the top. That is, get the size of the puzzle in the X and Y directions, usually expressed as set_width and set_height, compare set_height (Y direction length) and set_width (X direction length): If set_height>set_width, the panel is considered longer in the Y direction.

[0030] If set_width ≥ set_height, the panel is considered to be longer in the X direction. Embodiment 2:

[0032] The system has a clear structure design, and effectively modularizes the steps required to convert PCB design into PDF format. Each unit performs its own duties, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the system. Such a system can significantly improve the automation of the design process, reduce human errors, and improve the quality of output files. Embodiment three:
