Hello all,
I am new in Fusion so my experience is very limited. I normally use inventor to create models, usually for machine shop or 3d printing. This time I need to create an stencil, like the ones used for solder paste spreading when assembling a PCB.
I made the model using inventor. Saved it as stp file and then open it in Fusion. Then, in create tab I use "create a PCB/create and independent PCB"; that gives me a PCB with multiple layers. Next, in modify tab I use "push to 2D PCB" to get the stencil and finally in manufacture tab I use "Export gerber, NC drill, assembly and drawing outputs"
There are some holes in the stencil that are treated as drills and then the system creates a drill file and a profile file, while I am expecting the profile to contain the holes as well.
If I look at the CAM preview the profile includes the holes but the gerber file does not, as a result I get a gerber file for profile and a drill file for holes which the stencil's manufacturer cant use. Please look at the attached images.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
