RenderBoard

Renders a whole PCB document (.PcbDoc) as a photorealistic 2D board — a fab-house / gerber-viewer look (think JLCPCB) — from the console.

dotnet run --project examples/RenderBoard                 # bundled sample board
dotnet run --project examples/RenderBoard -- MyBoard.PcbDoc

It writes a handful of variations (top and bottom views, several solder-mask / finish combinations) as PNG, plus one SVG, into a temp folder and prints the paths.

What it shows

  • Loading a board with AltiumLibrary.OpenPcbDocAsync(path).
  • RasterRenderer.RenderRealisticAsync(document, path, options, style) for PNG.
  • SvgRenderer.RenderRealisticAsync(document, path, options, style) for SVG.
  • PcbRealisticStyle presets (GreenEnig, BlackEnig, BlueHasl, …), .For(side) to pick the top/bottom view, and Supersample for smoother raster edges.

The photorealistic renderer composites by physical layer — bare laminate, copper, a translucent solder mask, plated finish on exposed copper, silkscreen and drills — and crops the output to the board's bounding box. Colours are fully configurable on PcbRealisticStyle (substrate, copper, solder mask, silkscreen, finish, hole).

The SVG keeps each physical layer as a named group (substrate / copper / soldermask / silkscreen / drills), so a viewer can turn layers on and off after export — see the BoardViewer example for an interactive version.
