When i put the Gerber files inside the program, nothing appears.
What i wrong?
I used the new version of eagle. I was try the extension .gbr but i received the same result.

Hi!
About to order my first batch of panelized PCB's, and thought I'd give this a shot.

I've exported my gerbers from KiCAD, where I got a NPTH.drl and PTH.drl file.
Is it possible to use these with Panelizer? It seems like it has only used the NPTH file, but as PTH...

It would be awesome to have vector image exported artwork of the boards. Love your software :)

This is how you build the GerberPanelizer from source on Linux.

Get @runesoeknudsen branch

git remote add github-pr-41 https://github.com/runesoeknudsen/GerberTools
git fetch github-pr-41
git checkout linuxHAck

Obtain dependency: Triangle.dll

This one is clean and easy.

git clone https://github.com/eppz/Triangle.NET
cd Triangle.NET/Triangle.NET
xbuild
cp Triangle/bin/Debug/Triangle.dll /tmp

Obtain dependency: DotNetZip.dll

This repo has it: https://github.com/haf/DotNetZip.Semverd
Can be done from source, but requires Ruby tools for that.
I preferred to pull the DotNetZip.1.11.0.nupkg package from their Appveyor CI. The .nupkg is just a zip file, the dll is inside.

Finally, run it

mono bin/Debug/GerberPanelizer.exe

I have "fill empty area" on so it shows much like another board, but it's not possible to make a tab that touches it. (Error: "not enough intersections!")

Adding a breaktab doesn't work between a board and a filled panel outline as the program doesn't seem to be aware for the filled area. This was reported in the HAD article and apparently a fix was provided but it doesn't seem to be in the latest binary available for download. Perhaps if I built from source I'd find this is fixed but so far haven't found instructions for building, I just see a whole bunch of VS projects and not sure where to start....

Release: c4c91e2 2017-01-27
Some artefact of a breaktab.
Small offset of 0.5mm or changed dimension of breaktab solves the issue

Demo:
demo.zip

Start a new panel, drop in a board, then on the right side add an instance of it, then add it again and it crashes.

If you have 2 boards and add an instance of the first, then an instance of the 2nd, then an instance of the first again it does not crash. So this is related to adding the same board multiple times in succession.

It would be cool to be able to use the panelizer for not just tab-bite panelizing but also for "silk only" and v-score panelizing.

For board houses that don't allow panelizing at all, usually you can get away with silkscreen lines and just cut them up yourself, some board houses (ie, Seeed) will charge you more for panelizing multiple designs unless you only use silk/nothing to separate them.

Essentially v-score is the same as silk only except instead of silk lines put them on an outline layer (maybe with an annotation text).

The Seeed Studio panelization rules....
http://support.seeedstudio.com/knowledgebase/articles/388503-what-are-the-pcb-panelization-rules

would probably be a good reference for v score.

I cannot panelize my gerbers that have a 23Mb copper layer. I'm trying to put six on one board and it cannot complete because it crashes. No indication what is really happening. Could be memory issue, but I have 16Gb of memory and it isn't using it all. How about a 64-bit version?

Does setting Margin between boards reflect warning displayed when placing tabs?
Also in my example min 2.0 mm is not the case if I set 2.1 mm then breaktabs can be placed

It's my first time trying to run the tools, and I uncovered an error when running in the obvious way on Linux. This occurs under both older Ubuntu (mono 3.2.8) and recent Arch (mono 4.8.0). The same release works fine under Windows 10. I haven't looked into whether previous GerberTools releases behave any better though.

If I try panelize board with some layers exceed board outline (typically silk screen) it can overflow to next instance.

Example single board:

Example panel:

It would be nice to have some options to automatically crop/delete exceeding paths.

KiCad uses .gm1 files instead of .gml (file syntax is identical, copying .gm1 to .gml will work). It's stupid, but IIRC KiCad devs don't want to change that. It would be very useful (and user-friendly) to have a workaround for this. I am thinking about looking into it (should be simple to add), but I'm not sure I'll have the time this or next week.

So I have both .gm1 and .gml files in my gerber folder, for a board I have 14 copies of (on 10x10 cm panel). I generate the panel, and I get both .gm1 and .gml in the output folder. This is not a bug, but I'm curious - how, and why, does that work? =)

I have a board design which has a silk layer which bigger than the board outline (yes, that is kind of stupid, but KiCad does not really help preventing this). I already ordered single boards an it was no problem. If I use the panelizer with this boards, the silk layer from one board is printed onto the board next to it.
Would be great if the silk stay on the board it belongs to.

I loaded a board that doesn't cleanly fit the grid, and when placing tabs, it's difficult to center them. Snapping to the centerline of the gap on mouseup would make for symmetric tabs more often. (This test board is probably on an inch grid.)

I use EasyEDA for most of my basic board layouts, and all the Gerbers used here are from EasyEDA. I imported some SVG artwork onto the boards, and panelized them using the Panelizer. The previews do not have the inner shapes of the SVG artwork removed, whereas other Gerber viewers (like EasyEDA's) does.

I'm trying to get Panelizer (2017-01-17 Version) working on my machine, but when I open try to open my gerber folder it crashes everytime:

hi @StijnKuipers

Not sure if this is the right place, but since I've been trying to run the tools on Mac with very little success I thought I'd give a shot at compiling the source using VS for Mac.
The reason why I'm not able to run on Mac using Mono is because Homebrew's installation does not include mono32 and I get an error during launch.

In my mind it should be pretty straight forward to compile this using VS, but I get Out of Memory errors on all the .resx files, right after the Base64 encoding.

Any chance you have tips on this?
No hurry, let me know if you have time :)

Changing zoom doesn't either, but clicking in a blank space does.

The title bar has the name of the loaded file but not the Windows menu.

So, there seems to be a regression somewhere between the current version in git and the January release. I just noticed it, don't know why it hasn't surfaced sooner. The bug is - on certain boards, silkscreen markings will never show up after they go through the panelizer, even if it's a single board on the panel (no other boards added). All boards are exported from KiCad 4.0.6, with same settings, but some do have this problem and some don't - the .gto and .gbo file headers are pretty much the same, and I can't tell whether there's anything else different. I'd do a git bisect on this, but for now it's not my personal priority - I can get by with using the stable revision, so I'd rather get some work done in the meantime (especially given I'm familiar neither with codebase nor with Visual Studio).

Here's how affected boards look like:

Will provide gerber zips upon request - both for affected and unaffected boards.

If you set the Gerber output directory similar to one of the Gerber instances, and output the combined gerber several times in a row (after adjusting tab dimensions or positions for example), the output files looks to combine the previous results and the instance. Maybe the previous combined files should be deleted if present, before outputting new ones.

Despite not being a bug in this project, the issue described in #22 is common enough that it seems reasonable to treat it as a quirk that a significant portion of random KiCad gerbers will have.

I suggest adding a decision path on the GerberMove tool if no coordinates are given, to reposition the origin?

Your implementation of Auto placement works OK for me.
Maybe you can consider using something like that: http://svgnest.com/ ?

Hi everyone,
I'm using the kicad 5 version and when i plot the gerber files i see that the all files has the extansions ".GBR".

So using this guide, i see the extensions in kicad: https://goo.gl/PiiejM
Now i saved the gerber files in this "old" configuration, but nothing works....

When rotating gerbers, some arcs act funny
I have arcs on Silkscreen and Soldermask

90° NOT ok

0° OK

Windows 10 x64, when starting the Panelizer, select New, then go to Panel Properties and adjust your settings.

Then drag/drop your gerber folders in, and the panel properties reset back to defaults.

I found it leaves them outside the "zoom to fit" area, but within what I can get to in 1:1 view (so I just leave it in that all the time as a workaround). Maybe a dialog ("packing failed; leftover boards are below" and auto zoom to fit, adjusting zoom to fit to include these in its bounding box)?

I am having problems with the built version messing up the art when generating the panels. I have to move the tab around until it makes a good image.

Do you think you could release an updated build on your website?

Thanks either way I love the panelizer.

I just created some PCBs, panelized them and send them of to Elecrow. However the gerber output contains Aperture Macro redefinitions, which are not supported.

Right now it leaks from one board to another if it extends more than the gap between them. (Yes, I know, fix the footprint.)

Looks like something to do with circles

I have a folder with my gerbers geberated by KiCad - for example uncompressed https://svn.code.sf.net/p/rusefi/code/trunk/hardware/brain_board/gerber/brain_board_STM32F407_R0.2.zip

I launch GerberTools_2017_1_27\Panelizer\GerberPanelizer_VS2015.exe and then what?

I do not have a .gerberset file - how do I create one?

I try opening my gerbers one by one but nothing is rendered. Please help.

Hi,

I don't program in C#, so I was wondering if it would be possible to get an updated build. I see that there's been a lot of movement since the last release, and I understand that your time is limited and might be busy with life, so no probs if you are busy or thinking on getting some other stuff before releasing.

Cheers!

Hi! In KiCad, for example, the drawing area is the size of an A4 sheet, and board element coordinates are calculated from the top left corner. So, a board that's drawn in the center of the KiCad drawing area, will spawn at ~(150, 100), which is well outside the drawing area for most panels (and there might be other factors at play, too, since IIRC I had boards that wouldn't appear without increasing the X/Y numbers even more). It's even worse when rotating boards, because they rotate in relation to the 0,0 point and you have to re-calculate the coordinates. I've described a workaround in this Gerber Panelizer tutorial I did recently, but it would be much more user-friendly if that issue was worked around automatically.

Sorry to raise this as an issue but i couldn't find an email address for you.

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2015, 14.0.25431.01 and see these errors trying to build the library at head as of now. Unfortunately I'm not yet a C# guy so I'm flying blind here. I'll dig deeper if you need me to but this might be obvious.

Slots are incorrectly exported as 2 drill hits either end of the slot path

Instead of

Here is an exported slot drill file from circuitstudio
[arm_fire.PrjPcb] arm_fire-SlotHoles-Plated.TXT

Sorry, me again :) 👍

Line widths are messed sometimes. By deleting instances of Gerbers and placing them again something changes. Seems it is not 100% reproducable.

Any changes in xml format from last versions?
How could number of instances affect line width? (not including "your" tabs)
Photos before - max. number of instances 4
Last photo is OK - max. number of instances 3

Maybe make About page COPY/PASTEABLE for bugs sake, photo for now

if component pin is through-hole with shape oval and drill is oval, output gerber hole is not made!

The gerber output directory should be saved in the gerberset file to avoid browsing the volumes etc. every time it's opened.

As far as I understood the Panelizer is currently creating 2 drill files (combined.drl and combined.txt). Most services seem to honor only one of those files (I'm right now waiting for a dirtypcb order where I realized to late that, at least in the preview, only the combined.txt holes seem to be made :( ). Would be nice to have an option to have both files merged to prevent any issues like this.

...because it doesn't respond to Esc or Enter. It's also resizable but doesn't resize its contents.

Hi

Are there plans to support MacOS?

Thanks

In one of the designs I am working on, there is a large internal cutout within one of the board (defined on outline layer).

To save space I want to pack another board inside that cutout. When placing the board and adding break tabs, everything seems fine - I can see the board inside another and the break tabs connect:

When exporting the merged gerbers, it seems that the internal board ("GPIO Breakout" in the sample image) doesn't make it to the rendered output - it gets deleted:

Fortunately the board is physically present in the merged gerber files, so the merged gerbers are usable, it's just the rendered picture that is incorrect.

I presume this is a bug in the rendering tool.

As per the attached files, the merged gerber has an error on two of the rounded corners.

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Community edition. Here's the line that wouldn't compile for me. The workaround was replacing it with this block of code:

       public bool Dotted {
            get
            {
                throw new NotImplementedException();
            }

            set
            {
                throw new NotImplementedException();
            }
        }

I use same Gerbers as previous time.

It would be a good idea to include drill width option for mouse-bites. Also allow zero-width - this would not generate the wholes and whole design will behave like one pcb and fab houses will accept it, like ie. Elecrow which refused my panelized board, but they say if i keep bridges and remove holes it will be fine.
