We need to get the final board layer number and board dimension after customer update the gerber file . If CloudDFM can get it ?

Yes, this is called the fabrication report.


With CloudDFM everything is controlled by the Matrix file (*.fm6) that is included in your matrix blob.  To generate a Fabrication report, include the EXPORT_REPORTS array in your matrix file, and use option fabrication_report to generate a text Fabrication report.  You can also use the option fabrication_pdf_report to generate a PDF version of the fabrication report.  For more information about the EXPORT_REPORTS array, https://numerical-help-guide.s3.amazonaws.com/matrixfile/html/matrix-export_reports-array.html


#Generates a Text Fabrication Report

EXPORT_REPORTS {

   CELL=active

   UNITS=metric

   fabrication_report=myFilesOutput/Reports/customer_minimums.txt

}


#Generates a PDF Fabrication Report

EXPORT_REPORTS {

   CELL=active

   UNITS=english

   fabrication_pdf_report=myFilesOutput/Reports/customer_minimums.pdf

}


Note: For best results when generating a Fabriction Report, DFMCHECKER should always be run beforehand to extract PCB minimums, and other details. 




Here's a sample Text Fabrication file:
