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

    Hi Pat,

     

    Hope you are doing well.

     

    If you look at section 9.4 in the EAGLE manual, you will find a short

    list of the gerber file types you can generate to have you're board

    made. If your board has some extra layers not covered by CAM job

    GERB274-x 4 layer, then you can simply add sections following the guides

    in the manual.

     

    For example let's say you need to get the stencil layer output for your

    board house. Then take GERB274-x 4 layer add a section called maybe

    "layer1 stencil" or something descriptive.

     

    Make sure that Output is set to GERBERS274-x then put the appropriate

    extension in the File field.

     

    For more details you can see the manual.

     

    Hope this helps.
