# Will cut a PCB piece with a pattern (Gerber file) out of the surrounding PCB material

# ----------- START: This is needed only for the examples ----------------
|
|
# first set the default location where to search for the files to be open and store it to the ROOT_FOLDER variable
|
|
set ROOT_FOLDER [get_sys root_folder_path]
|
|
|
|
# calculate the resources path for the examples we need to run and store it inside the PATH varaible
|
|
set PATH ${ROOT_FOLDER}/assets/examples/files
|
|
# ----------- END: This is needed only for the examples ----------------
|
|
|
|
# set the working path to the path that holds the files we are going to work with
|
|
set_path $PATH
|
|
|
|
# load the GERBER file test.gbr as gerber_file
|
|
open_gerber test.gbr -outname gerber_file
|
|
|
|
# cutout the Gerber file with name gerber_file using an endmill with diameter 1.2 at a distance of 0.1 units from
|
|
# the Gerber object. Will add gaps (bridges to hold the PCB to the surrounding material) on each side of the PCB
|
|
# (4 sides) and the resulting Geometry object that hold the cutout geometry will be named cutout_geo
|
|
cutout gerber_file -dia 1.2 -margin 0.1 -gapsize 3 -gaps "4" -outname cutout_geo

# plot the objects so we can see them; not required for the script but in this script we want to see the results
