I attached the file gerb274x-4layer.cam that comes with 6.1.0.

It hasn't been changed since from us since a while.

Yes, that must have been the case. My separate Eagle 5 CAM files are

correct. Sorry about that.

Lets get a misunderstanding out. When making 4 layer boards, the

innerlayers can in theory be at any layer between 2 and 15. You choose this

in the DRC window.The cam file needs to match your stackup configuration.

If the cam is made to use layers 1,2,15 & 16, it will fail on a board file

setup to use layers 1,2,3 & 16.

Richard, take a look at the listing, below is the part that generates

layer 2 and layer 15, taken from the distribution that is in V6.1.0:

sorry, you must have changed something.

I attached the file gerb274x-4layer.cam that comes with 6.1.0.

It hasn't been changed since from us since a while.

You will see that for layer 2, Layers=" 2 17 18 20" , is correctly

specified. For layer15: Layers=" 17 18 20", the layer 15 itself is missing.

Of course it is easy to correct, but distributed incorrect. I fell in

that trap processing my first 4 layer board...

Hi,

 

I can't reproduce this problem. What EAHLE version do you use? Are

you sure that in the layer 15 sections are activated layer 15 17 18 ?

 

Richard, take a look at the listing, below is the part that generates

layer 2 and layer 15, taken from the distribution that is in V6.1.0:

Hi,
