Subtitling - FeaturesSoftware UpdatesAll FAB software products are generally shipped the day after receipt of payment. In case that an export license for shipment outside of European Union is required the shipment may be delayed by 5 to 10 days due to export regulations in Germany.FAB Software LicenseAll FAB Subtitling software products are sold as a software license covered by FAB License Agreement. The software can be installed on multiple PCs but because it is delivered with a USB dongle it can only be used on one PC at the same time when the USB dongle is plugged into the PC.The software license is valid for unlimited time however free software updates and technical support are only available during the warranty period.The software is delivered with 1 year warranty which includes free software updates and technical support. This means that download and installation of a software update is available within 1 year from purchase date.SA - Software Assurance - Extension of Warranty for 1 YearSoftware Assurance is an economical way to keep your software up to date beyond the regular warranty and extends the right to download and install a software update and the right to receive technical support from FAB for another year starting from the end of the previous warranty. SA can be bought not later than 6 months after the end of the previous warranty.UPG - Software Upgrade at Any Time - without Software AssuranceA Software Upgrade is available as an alternative to Software Assurance.
A Software Upgrade can be purchased at any time without the need to buy the Software Assurance every year. It is however more expensive than the Software Assurance.A Software Upgrade may be required in two cases:- A software update to the latest version of the same Edition of the software is required when the time from the end of the previous warranty is more than 6 months.- A software upgrade to a different Edition of the software is required.A Software Upgrade (UPG) can be done from any previous version of FAB Subtitler. In case that only an update of the software to the latest version is required without the need for change of Edition and not more than 6 months have passed since the end of the previous warranty (from the previous License, SA or UPG purchase) then SA can be obtained instead of UPG.The Software Upgrade (UPG) is delivered with 1 year warranty which includes free software updates and technical support. This means that download and installation of a software update is available within 1 year from purchase date.VersionsIn the past FAB Subtitler and other FAB Subtitling Products were sold with a version number. Starting with FAB Subtitler Version 6 introduced in January 2010 the version number is now not included in the product name any more because when License, SA or UPG is bought the software that is delivered at that moment is always the latest version and free software updates are available for download for 1 year from purchase date of License, SA or UPG including any new version numbers of a product released within that period.to see which are the latest versions of FAB Subtitling products and which modifications were implemented.

Fab 3000 V6 Keygenguru Reviews
I'm trying to import some gerber files generated from KiCAD to double-check my gerbers (one additional check to the integrated Gerber viewer in the KiCAD package) before sending to a board house. This board has 36 PTH holes and 2 NPTH holes. KiCAD exports two separate Excellon drill files, one for PTH holes and the other for the NPTH holes. When trying to import these files to DFM Now! The PTH hole line up to the correct places, but the two NPTH holes are way off the board.
It's as if the importer strips the leading zeros, but then thinks the numbers don't have the leading zeros stripped. (i.e., hole at X locaton of 011114 (2:4 format, no zeros stripped) is at x=11.114 instead of x=01.1114. I have tried setting the drill format settings for 2:4, no zero suppression. Similar reaction to the Y axis. I tried importing all the layers except the PTH drill file and got the same issues. KiCAD's gerber viewer doesn't show the same issue, and visual inspection of the.drl files doesn't show anything majorly amiss to my inexperienced eyes. The gerber drill map (.pho) file shows the NPTH holes in the correct location so I don't think my source files are suspect.
But I could be wrong.I'm using DFM Now! V6.6.4 w/o license (free version) on 64-bit Windows 7.I can send the full Gerber and Excellon drill file folder to someone internal to Numerical Innovations, but I'm not sure how my resale partners at Club Jameco would respond to publishing the design files publicly. (I have yet to ask how they think of OSHW projects being published with them.). I don't think the formatting is wrong.
Three experiments I ran:. Import the board project, only enabling the PTH drill file.
= The board looks normal with the NPTH holes missing as expected. Import the board project, only enabling the NPTH drill file. = The NPTH holes are still in the erroneous position way off board. The PTH holes are missing as expected. Merge the two drill files. Because the NPTH drill file only has one tool, I changed that one to the next available tool number for the PTH drill file, and copied the tool definition and the two hole coords into a copy of the PTH drill file. Import the board project, only enabling the merged drill file as PTH holes.
= All the holes are in the correct location. The NPTH holes are now PTH as expected.I've sent all the original gerber and drill files as well as screen-shots of the DFM Now!
Import settings windows with the settings (and layer assignments) that I used for importing my Gerbers and NC Drill files to the support email address.When the NPTH holes are imported into the incorrect place, they are so far off the board the easiest way I found to find them is to use the built-in generate Fabrication drawing function. (I do find it odd that the fabrication drawing function only accepts one NC Drill file, where most board houses want NPTH and PTH (and presumably blind/buried vias) in separate drill files. Is multiple drill file support when generating fab drawings only available in FAB 3000?)But, that said if the error does seem to be in the KiCAD generated files, I'll submit a bug report with them. This just feels like a bug in your program. Thanks for sending the files. 'Auto-Loads' all files correctly except for the small non-plated drill layer with 2 holes - Why?Here's the problem: NC Drill files (and many Gerber files) have a critical flaw because they do not state their zero placement in their header, and leave it up to the CAM tool to guess the appropriate zero placement used for the drill. So for example without knowing the zero placement, the resulting value could be any of the following:X027.
Thank you for your reply. I was able to load the board by first loading the Gerbers, and then importing the NC Drill files.

I didn't bother with auto load for any of them, I just verified that the import settings were correct for the files being imported.Interesting that the auto load algorithms were so confused that it put the two NPTH holes way off the board bounds in the other files. The number format is in the files (both the NC and Gerbers), but it is in a comment line. And a comments can only be trusted to be free-form random text by computerized auto loaders.:-/Has anyone come up with any defacto standards for a comment line describing number format, zeros, and absolute/relative coordinates for computerized auto import methods? Some format I could suggest to the KiCAD team as a feature request?Also, with your experience with how many other EDA suites export data, are there any suggestions I could pass along to the KiCAD team for formatting changes? Any missing or improperly formatted data? (It works, but is there anything that could be done closer to the specification, instead of taking advantage of an accepted quirk of a popular platform? Sorta like asking if a web page follows W3C spec or uses IEv6 quirks.).
