The extensions for the output files given in the table on page 182 are
only suggestions. If you are defining a job for Gerber data, which gener

mationfilestoyourphotoplottingservice,proceedasfollows:
Foroutput,entereither name.xx#or .xx#.
Here, name stands for any name, and xx stands for any characters (that
areallowedinfilenames).
Theoutputfilesgeneratedwilllooklikethis:
name.xx# resultsin name.xxx,theinfofilewillbenamed name.xxi,
.xx# results in boardname.xxx, the info file will be named boardname.xxi.
Thefileswillbewrittenintothesamedirectoryastheboardfileis.
Example:
Theboard myboard.brd isloaded. .cp# isenteredintothe File field.
The output file is called myboard.cpx, and the information file is called
myboard.cpi.
The file extension can have any length. The # character must occupy
thelastplaceoftheextension.
Please ensure when defining a job that the extensions of the output file
foreachsectionareuniqueandthereforedistinguishable.
If you want to output a file on a particular drive, place the drive
identifier or, if appropriate, the path in front of the filename ending. For
instance, under Windows, d:\.cmp would place the file boardname.cmp
in the root directory of drive D. This also applies to the Linux version,
sothat,forexample, /dev/hdc2/.cmp,wouldplacethefileondrive hdc2.
