Last Edit: Saturday, 26 March 2022
Generate Gerber and Drill files from Multisim/Ultiboard
The process for generating all the necessary manufacturing files is very simple in Ultiboard, and different to most other design software. You can use an Export Scheme file to export them for you. These files are pre-configured by Logic Need to ensure that all the necessary files will be exported from your design, in the correct format, to place an order at Logic Need PCB Service.
For National Instruments Ultiboard:
1- |

Open your PCB Design file on Ultiboard software, check integrity of the files. Here we used the file name "MyPCB" as an example file.
Select the menu "File", then left-click "Export".
NOTE: If the Export button is grayed out and not active, then check if you have activated Ultiboard, because the Export is not available in the trial/demo period.

Place ALL the exported files in this folder into an archive file (ZIP or RAR).
