CAM processing

autodeskguest

Hi,

   Having trouble figuring out what layers to include for a CAM job. I'm

used to protel and am trying to learn eagle. I use 4PCB (advanced circuits)

for proto boards. When I do a CAM job for a 4 layer board i ma select the

gerber 274 4 layer job but all i get is two files. Any guidance here would

be appreciated.

Thanks

Pat

    Hello Pat,

     

    If you're adding sections to a CAM job with the ADD button, it creates a

    new section and tab, copying all the stuff from the adjacent tab...

    including the output file name.  My most common mistake when making new CAM

    jobs was forgetting to change this and getting the output file from the

    first section overwritten by the next.

     

    Cheers,
