AD16 was simplified to Include Surface mount components.


AD15.1.15

AD15 and earlier have options to include Top, Bottom and Double sided components.


AD15 Example:

Sheet 2 of my fab notes displayed a Hard Gold Window in AD15 and earlier

AD16 Example: (missing data from Mechanical Layer 22).

The Mechanical Layer 22 (Hard Gold) data was embedded in a footprint.

The AD15 Outjob 

Configuration6_Name8=OutputConfigurationParameter8
Configuration6_Item8=IncludeBottomLayerComponents=False|IncludeMultiLayerComponents=False|IncludeTopLayerComponents=True|IncludeViewports=True|Index=1|Mirror=False|Name=Hard Gold Window|PadNumberFontSize=14|Record=PcbPrintOut|ShowHoles=False|ShowPadNets=False|ShowPadNumbers=False|SubstituteFonts=False

The AD16 Outjob

Configuration6_Name8=OutputConfigurationParameter8

Configuration6_Item8=IncludeBottomLayerComponents=True|IncludeMultiLayerComponents=True|IncludeTopLayerComponents=True|IncludeViewports=True|Index=1|Mirror=False|Name=Hard Gold Window|PadNumberFontSize=14|Record=PcbPrintOut|ShowHoles=False|ShowPadNets=False|ShowPadNumbers=False|SubstituteFonts=False

AD16 Workaround:

Under Include Components enable Through-Hole

The footprint with Hard Gold has regions on Mech Layer 22 and has Through Holes. Apparently AD16 treats parts a little differently than AD15 and earlier did.

That's it
