The disadvantage to using this is that Default Layer Mapping is not always intelligent with differing structures in designs, and so some manual changes may be needed afterwards. In this instance, the default layer mapping will be saved to your Preferences. The advantage to importing in this manner is that batch management of layer mapping can save a lot of time when importing multiple designs. The rationale here is that should you wish to import ten PCB designs and you want to map the layer Assembly 1 to Mechanical Layer 1, you would not have to customize each of the ten PCB designs in order to get the right layer mapping. This mapping is used by the Import Wizard to build the layer mapping for each PCB that can then be individually customized. Of course you can change as many mappings as you want as only suggested default mappings are given. Layer Mapping is simply a mapping between the names of the PADS PCB layers and Altium Designer PCB layers. It should be noted about how the layers are mapped on import for PCB designs. There are additional options provided to control the automatic creation of design rules, missing vias and keep-out conversions as well. Layer Mapping for PADS PCB ASCII FilesĪll used PADS PCB layers must be mapped to an Altium Designer layer prior to import when using the Import Wizard. Use the Layer Mapping Options from the Edit Mapping button in the Import Wizard to associate PADS PCB layers to Altium Designer layers.
