In the 15 video the creator brings up the Fab layers. Till now the creator adviced us to avoid this layer to avoid complexity. Can i know what this layer is capable of doing so that i can further improve my pcb with this feature?
Fab layer is for additional information that you would like to pass on to a manufacturer.
Which sometimes includes board information like :
- Board Thickness
- Type of Soldermask
- Silk ink brand / type , etc.
This is usually done in a larger company to avoid miscommunication since they have a different person who does purchasing or placing the order.
Just to make the video simpler the Fab layer was avoided.
