SMT to PCT Conversion: FAQ
What are SMT files?
SMT is a Gerber file used as a standardized format for describing the top solder mask of a printed circuit board (PCB). Several other formats are included in the Gerber family to describe layers or relevant data related to PCBs, such as PLS, DRD or TOP. SMT files are created with Orcad software and usually serve as input files for photoplotters or similar equipment that produces PCBs.
What are PCT files?
PCT is an image file format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, a graphics program developed in the 1980s as part of the Apple Macintosh operating system. The initial version of the format, called PICT 1, could store 8 colors, while the later developed PICT 2 supported 24 and 32-bit color images. In recent years, the format has decreased in popularity, being gradually replaced by more versatile formats.
