The Unisoft software can import all types of CAD and Gerber files and export out various CAD or CAD type format such as GENCAD, IPC-2581, Fabmaster FATF, IPC-D-356, MENTOR Neutral, PADS Ascii, Unisoft .xml format, Unisoft .FBA format, XY center & rotation, etc.
The standardized file in GENCAD format exported from the Unisoft software is used by production equipment vendors, customers and other software systems that import this format into their environment.
This allows manufacturing equipment vendors, our customers or other software systems to import the multitude of ever changing and new CAD and Gerber systems on the market via the Unisoft software and export out a single standardized GENCAD file that they then import into their equipment or software system.
So the benefit is having to import only a single simple GENCAD format by having the Unisoft software support the multitude of ever changing and new CAD and Gerber systems.
The GENCAD file exported normally contains component reference designator names, pin numbers, part numbers, netlists, net names, trace runs, pin x/y, via x/y, board layers, device type SMD/THD, board outline, etc.
Also, there is a Unisoft .xml format export that is available. The .xml export is often a preferred stable output that equipment vendors and software suppliers adopt - details https://www.unisoft-cim.com/exports_xml-definition.html.
