DFMPlus / PCB123

[DanBrunermer]

Is DFMplus already built in to PCB123? I use PCB123 exclusively, so I never actually have my own gerbers, drill file, etc. I do use the DRC check frequently, though. If I submitted a zip file with a .123 file in it, would you be able to analyze it?

PCB123 has built in design checking that allows you to design boards that fit into our prototype services. The DFMplus tool does that and more. If you have a clean DRC through PCB123 you should be ready to go through our online prototype services. If you intentionally violated some PCB123 rules to order through our Full Feature or Custom Quote services using the DFMplus tool will help you catch items that are outside our capabilities or will cause manufacturing errors.

You can upload a PCB123 design with a DFMplus request. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
