Good Evening,
I am currently having an issue with one layer of the gerber’s outputs. I can export all layers but the bottom copper lay (which has polygon pours). I know it works because I tried it on a different program then I typically use (cam350 7.5), in Lavenir and it cam in as 3 layers. The first layer was the polygon pour outlines, the next was a origin box (I believe) and last was all my traces and pads. No sure why the exported file is so messed up. I am pretty sure it has something to do with my polygon pours because all other layers of the board work properly. Any thoughts or helpful hints? Anyone have any helpful hints?
With warm regard & appreciation,
Lee Havens
Hello Lee,
That is an interesting behavior especially with just one layer. Could you please try the following and see if it exports correctly:
first - copy/paste the bottom polygon to another PCB, and in the original PCB, delete the polygon from the bottom layer, export Gerber and see if it shows as one layer
second- go back to PCB, copy the polygon back to the bottom layer, but this time Unpour the bottom polygon and export and see if it exports as one or 3 layers.
Best Regards,
