Eurocircuits and V6 .brd files

Just mailed two designs to Eurocircuits this afternoon made by Eagle V6.

Received a reject as 'does not look to be a valid .brd file'.

I wonder if they know about the changes in V6?

The new version is out only some two weeks. Give them some time. Board review

for eurocircuit is in India to my knowledge, so perhaps even some more time

is needed.

Also think about delivering Gerber RS2xx. That way, data is fixed and not

subject to subtile differences in setup.

Hmm, that will likely stop it solid. Altough Eurocircuits did build good

boards based on .brd files for me in the past. Not having generated

Gerber files at all, I will have some reading to do, as we want to build

prototypes for customers in a few weeks. This is the moment where I

regret to have upgraded to V6 early.

In the online help, 'GERBER' does not do much, but I saw a gerber.cam

file. Should the result be a collection of files, like a drill file etc?

Cancelling and trying another board house right now might get me in the

same problem again.

Well, that did not look that hard. Found the instructions, generated

drill file and a 4-layer Gerber, zipped them up and updated my order.

Hopefully that was the right way.

It is very important to verify that all the necessary files are there,

contain the correct layers and are not mirrored.
