    Read-in a pcb file

    Use the pcbFileRead object to read in a file. Accepted file formats are:

    • ODB++

    • Allegro

    • Native

    Here we are using a native format file

    pfile = pcbFileRead('native_ExampleBoard_Allegro')
    pfile = 
      pcbFileRead with properties:
    
               FileName: 'native_ExampleBoard_Allegro'
              NumLayers: 5
             MetalLayer: [1 3 5]
        DielectricLayer: [2 4]
            LayerHeight: [0.0184 0.0104 0.0092 0.0012 0]
             NumCadnets: 7
           NumPadStacks: 6
          NumComponents: 8
               NumParts: 5

    Use the cadnetList funtion

    cadnetList(pfile)

    Create a cadnet object

    Create a cadnet object of 'NET_IN22'

    cnet = cadnet(pfile,"NET_IN22");

    Show the cadnet object

    Use the show function to display 'NET_22'

    show(cnet)

    Figure PCB Cadnet UI contains an axes object and another object of type uigridlayout. The axes object with title Visualize cadnet, xlabel x (inch), ylabel y (inch) contains 6 objects of type patch.
