Abstract
This paper describes an integrated PCB CAD/CAM system which utilizes turnkey CAD/CAM systems as design stations. The Implementation of the system is based on the practical experience that turnkey systems do not support all possible design work. Typical design routines in effect in a service bureau type environment are assisted by user-written software in the realized system. User written software provides integrated parts data base, one phase user-friendly data input, intensive input data checking, support for part and document numbering, user definable document formats and languages, and a fully automatic generation of N.C. programs for insertion machines, and input data for test equipment. User-written software is run in a separate host computer, to which all the turnkey design stations are linked.
