I suspected that. Maybe a future cam proc could warn about data in copper

layers that isnt associated with a job?

Morton, after some testing I found where the problem is. The

gerb274x-4layer.cam only looks at top, bottom, layer 2 and 15. I have

not found out how I can get it to look at my layer 3.

Furthermore, it will only deal with layer 2 and 15 as signal layers, and

I have my layer 2 defined as ground plane. Since I got my design error

free after some manual work, I'd like to keep it. Is there a way in

Eagle to move the layers to match gerb274x-4layer.cam or another way to

create Gerber files from my current design?
