Import CAD data
The process begins by the user selecting File | Import CAD File from the
main menu. The system opens the specified file to verify its format. If the
format is correct the system prompts the user to load a board corresponding
to the CAD data into the system.
The software analyzes the Device position information from the CAD data and
positions the Image over three Devices on the board. Each time, the user is
prompted to verify the Device position. The three Devices are a Device
closest to the bottom left corner followed by a Device closest to the bottom
right corner and then a Device closest to the top left corner of the board. Each
time a prompt dialog is displayed, the user should move the highlighted ROI
on the video window so that it is on top of the corresponding Device, and then
press OK on the prompt dialog. The prompt dialog is as follows:
When the OK button is pressed, the software records the Device position.
Based on the Device position of the three Devices located on the extreme
corners of the board, the ScanSpection system compensates for any
differences in the coordinate systems between the system that generated the
CAD data and the system reading it. The factors compensated are XY scaling
difference, board rotation, and XY axis skew.
After the coordinate system is adjusted, the system will move the Image to
view each Device one by one. If the Auto-Train is not enabled the user is
prompted by the above dialog on every Device to verify the Device's position
and size. The process is completed when all the Devices imported are
verified.
Based on the Device numbers supplied in the CAD data, the software adds
the newly imported Devices into the Device library after their templates are
trained.
The Device import process can be aborted at any time by pressing the Cancel
button on the Confirm/Adjust Device Position dialog or the Stop button on
the main button bar. The Devices that are imported up to this point will remain
in the Device list. To resume the import process, simply select Import CAD
File from the file menu again. Since the Device information in the CAD file
merges with the Device information in the board setup, there is no danger of
importing the same Device twice.
On the Confirm/Adjust Device Position dialog there is a check box, Auto
