Hi!
We received an email from our M&A fab that due to modernization and some reasons, they ask us to provide files in ODB++.
I never used anything else than gerber before and seemed perfect as far as manufacturing is concerned, so i went to read something about this ODB format, i failed to see the reald advantage (although the files were beautifully structured in a folder after export).

I know one place where the DFM and assembly (PnP programming, flying probe, whatever) exclusively use ODB++.
Easy enough to generate from any enterprise-grade software, but may not be available in lower tier and free software.
The format looks easy enough to reverse engineer (it's plain text ASCII, organized by folders, wrapped up in a .tgz), but I don't know if anyone's done the work. Apparently, the companies behind it don't want an open implementation...
