Hi all,
I printed out cam files using the cam processor. When I viewed the files in
gerbviewer i noticed that the layers do not line up. I am not sure why but
the board houses refuse to make the boards because the drills end up going
through the wrong place. For example, the bottom layer ends up reversed and
the top layer remains the same. So the drill holes and solder mask on the
bottom layer are not at the right location. Thanks a lot guys for your help.
Thanks in advance.

The CAM job that comes with EAGLE has "mirrored" checked for the bottom
layer.
That's a really dumb default since it's opposite of what board houses
want.
It should be the other way around, although it's not a big deal since
it's
easy to change, and you only have to do it once over the lifetime of
using
Eagle.

Well, duh! Someone who can't be bothered to read the docs or even check
their gerber files with a free viewer deserves to get the bottom layer of
their board flipped.
Yeah, and imagine all that stress that it takes to change that setting...

I respectfully disagree with this statement... being in a postition where I
see many different software users (not only EAGLE) a little perplexed by
generating CAM output, what may seem to be a simple process can be really
confusing. When you have default options checked that make little sense and
every board shop demanding something different, designing the board can be
only half the battle!
