+
+Internal templates parameters
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The internal templates makes use of the :ref:`definitions during import ` mechanism to achieve
+some degree of customization.
+
+The manufacturer templates (Elecrow, FusionPCB, JLCPCB, P-Ban and PCBWay) support:
+
+- **_KIBOT_F_PASTE**: Layer for the front paste mask (default: '')
+- **_KIBOT_B_PASTE**: Layer for the back paste mask (default: '')
+- **_KIBOT_IMPORT_ID**: Suffix used for all outputs and groups. This can be used to import the same template more than
+ once, which is useful when using different parameters (default: '')
+- **_KIBOT_IMPORT_DIR**: Target directory for the outputs (default: depends on the manufacturer)
+- **_KIBOT_MANF_DIR**: Target directory for the manufacturer outputs (default: **_KIBOT_IMPORT_DIR**)
+- **_KIBOT_MANF_DIR_COMP**: Target directory for the compressed manufacturer outputs (default: **_KIBOT_IMPORT_DIR**)
+- **_KIBOT_GERBER_LAYERS**: List of layers to use for the gerbers (default: a specially crafted list of layers)
+
+
+The JLCPCB case is a little bit more complex and also supports:
+
+- **_KIBOT_POS_PRE_TRANSFORM**: Name of the filer used for pretransform, needed to rotate components (default: _rot_footprint)
+- **_KIBOT_POS_ENABLED**: Generate position files (default: true)
+- **_KIBOT_BOM_ENABLED**: Generate BoM (default: true)
+- **_KIBOT_POS_ONLY_SMD**: Use only SMD components for the position files (default: true)
+
+
+MacroFab_XYRS:
+
+- **_KIBOT_MPN_FIELD**: Manufacturer field definition (default: '- field: MPN')
+- **_KIBOT_IMPORT_ID**: Suffix used for all outputs and groups (default: '')
+- **_KIBOT_IMPORT_DIR**: Target directory for the outputs (default: '.')
+
+
+CheckZoneFill:
+
+- **_KIBOT_CHKZONE_THRESHOLD**: Maximum pixels difference (default: 100)
+
+
+Note that manufacturer templates named *\*_stencil* are created using parameters.
+As an example: *Elecrow_stencil* is just *Elecrow* customized like this:
+
+
+.. code:: yaml
+
+ import:
+ - file: Elecrow
+ definitions:
+ _KIBOT_F_PASTE: '- F.Paste'
+ _KIBOT_B_PASTE: '- B.Paste'
