ML2ZL

Meontor Library to zuken Library Converter

ML2ZL is a tool that converts the symbols and geometries for the Mentor Board Station into symbols and footprints for the Zuken CR5000.
If Mentor and Zuken are used together, it is possible to reduce loss caused by double library works by converting Mentor Library into Zuken Library by use of ML2ZL.
Each company has different specifications for geometry, so based on each company's standards for geometry creation, some modifications are necessary and are supported

Major Product Benefit

1. Resize Symbol When ML2ZL is executed, the symbol size can be kept the same, or can be enlarged by a particular ratio.
2. Convert SMD Type Geometry

In the case of SMD part, the Padstack size can change according to the flow or the reflow.
Mentor expresses geometry with different sizes of PAD_1 and PAD_2, but Zuken makes a separate footprint.
In the case of converting SMD-type geometry by the use of ML2ZL 1 geometry for Mentor is converted info 2 footprint for Zuken-for flow and reflow.

3. Convert Thru-Hole Type Geometry

Mostthu-hole parts have different sizes of holes and Padstack, depending on whether they are for both sides or for a single side.
Mentor makes and uses both single and double-sided geometry separately, but Zuken can express the information for both sides and a single side together on a footprint.
When converting thru-hole type geometry using ML2ZL, 2 Mentor geometries for both sides and a single side are converted into a Zuken footprint
