Program overview

The Order Browser (the main window) consists of three main elements: a product explorer (left), product details (upper right) and order history (lower right). The Icon Bar at the top of the window is used to access additional modules. These include:

  • The Import module is used to load Gerber and drill files and create (publish) a PCB product which is visible in the Order Browser.
  • The Panel module is used to step up a single PCB product into a panel (array) suitable for automated assembly, and publish it to the Order Browser.
  • The Paste Mask module is used to create a Paste mask stencil product and publish it to the Order Browser.
  • The Quotation module is used to get prices and order the product selected in the Order Browser.
  • The Partner Manager and User Manager are used to manage contact info and partner relationships.

Product explorer
The Product explorer allows you to find and organize your company's products. The upper portion lists your product folders and the lower portion lists the products in the selected folder. In addition to the standard folders, you can create your own folders and subfolders to organize products however you wish.

Product details
Product details are shown in two tabs.
The Product info tab displays product properties. These include the product name, article number and description; board specifications, minimum tolerances, and board statistics. The board stackup is displayed as a diagram.

The Product view tab displays the product graphically. The check boxes in the layer list control
which layers are visible. Right-click on a layer name to change the display color for that layer. The new color will be used throughout Macaos Enterprise. The current cursor position and board size are displayed below the layer list.

To pan: right-click at the new center point, or right-click and drag horizontally or vertically. To zoom in: right-click and drag up to the right to select the desired region. To zoom out: right-click and drag down to the left. To zoom-to-fit: right-click and drag up to the left. The Help tab displays a quick reference for pan and zoom commands.

When no operational mode is selected, clicking and dragging with the left mouse button displays
the distance from the clicked point to the mouse cursor. Press Ctrl+U to toggle between inch and
mm display.

In some cases, a file list appears below the layer list. These are product data and documentation
files which you may view or download. Double-click on a file to view it. Right-click on a file to
save it.

Order history
The Order history panel lists the order history for the selected product. For each order, the relevant numbers and dates are shown. Clicking on an order number opens a PDF viewer displaying the order confirmation. Clicking on an underlined shipment tracking number opens a web browser with shipment tracking info, if available.
