BOT to PCT 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 PCT files?
PCT is an image file format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, a graphics program developed in the 1980s as part of the Apple Macintosh operating system. The initial version of the format, called PICT 1, could store 8 colors, while the later developed PICT 2 supported 24 and 32-bit color images. In recent years, the format has decreased in popularity, being gradually replaced by more versatile formats.
