The output folder can be defined by selecting "Change" on the container, the following screenshot is how I have mine set up:
Assign the Gerber and NC Drill file outputs to the new container by clicking the little circle to the right of each output with the container highlighted: Name the container something appropriate, I called mine "Fabrication Files". Create a container by choosing "Add New Container Output" > "New Folder Structure" on the right side of the screen: This is done by defining a "Container" and assigning the fabrication outputs to it. Now that the outputs are configured, they need to be generated. Next, follow the steps to create a fabrication output but select "NC Drill Files":Ĭopy all settings from the following screenshot: When done, hit apply and the window will close. One the other two tabs, copy the settings from the following screenshots: More or fewer layers might be selected depending on your board. The following list should be selected (may vary depending on your board): Next, double click on the newly created output to bring up the following menu:Ĭopy the settings on the left hand side of the window, and select all of the layers that you want to generate Gerbers for. If you have more than one PCB document, select the one you want to make Gerbers for from the menu. This will add a fabrication output for Gerber files corresponding to the PCB document in your project. Under "Fabrication Outputs", select "Add New Fabrication Output" and choose \ under the "Gerber Files" option. Combining them gives the fabricator the necessary information to create your PCB.
The gerber files define each layer of the board and the NC Drill files define all of the holes that need to be drilled. There are two types of files we need to create, Gerbers and NC Drill files. You can create an OutJob file by right clicking on the project in the Projects panel and navigating through "Add New to Project" > "Output Job File" as shown below More can be read about it here on Altium's docs: It is very configurable and can group different outputs into one container so they can all be generated with one click. OutJob files are a type of file in Altium that allow designers to easily and repeatedly generate outputs from their design.
