I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a section where you guide someone through getting the board done to the gerber level and advice to send the files to be manufactured so that
But of course ! that's elementary my dear watson. Gerber generation and its gotcha's is in there as well. including verifying of the Gerber. Ditto for ODB++ and some other advanced stuff ( i'm not going to give away all the stuff here
). that includes doing realy crazy shit like V-scores , route and retain , mousebites , panelisation, sub-boards , flex , castellations , slotted holes, plated and non plated holes , using drill tables and manipulating them for special purposes ( like allocating specific drill sizes to make slits post plating etc )
The sample project board will probably be a 4 layer ( so i can demonstrate controlled impedance .. can't really do that on 2 layers).
Attention will be given on layer stack building , prepreg selection not only for dielectric constant but also for warpage, hygroscope, altitude and high frequency )
Other sections including creating project output ( assembly drawings , pick and place data , documentation drawings ) and handoff to manufacturing. After all a board design is only finished if it is mass producable by monkeys. As a board designer you need to hand off all data required for your backend. it does not stop at the generation of the gerber. there is pastemask generation for example. knowing how to scale pads , how to inject lattices , how to deal with non populates, project variants , pullback and much much more ...
The step where you create gerber is only like the 75% point for a board design. there is still work to do afterwards before you can consider the pcb design 'complete' a pcb design is the translation of an electric schematic into a CAD dataset that will be used to build an ASSEMBLED board ( it doesn't stop at a bare board ) that FITS in its intended enclosure and is robust against ESD and passes EMC...
