BOT to CGM Conversion: FAQ
What are BOT files?
BOT is a Gerber format, which means it is part of a larger group of 2-D vector images used as a standard in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber images are processed by photoplotting machinery in order to produce PCBs and they contain descriptions of different layers of the board or other details (electrical connections, vias, pads, drilling or milling data etc.). BOT files describe the bottom copper layer of a PCB and they can be used in the production of such a board without any other external files.
What are CGM files?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a format that contains vector graphics information (clip art, drawings) associated with graphics design or CAD programs. As opposed to other types of metafiles, such as EMF or WMF, CGM files are not only supported by Windows, but can be used on different platforms too. They are encoded using binary, character-based of clear-text encoding.
