The following table shows the items that are outputted, according to the IPC-2581 specification, for each combination of Mode and Level that you select in the Output (IPC-2581) dialog. Items that are marked with "*" will not be outputted from eCADSTAR PCB Editor as they do not exist in the database.

Note
- If All is selected in the Mode box, "USERDEF" and "1" are outputted to IPC-2581/Content/FunctionMode as the mode and level, respectively.
- Layers are controlled so that the layers themselves (IPC-2581/Ecad/CadData/Layer) are outputted, and the data in layers that are excluded from output targets is not outputted.
