Board dimensions on Gerber files.

autodeskguest

Hi,

I am generating the gerber files for a board based on a Mini-PCI-Express

card. The files generated look fine in the preview, but I could not find the

file for the board outline dimensions. How can the board house know how to

cut the board in the correct shape? This is my first project to be sent to

the board house.

 

 

Thanks

    The board dimensions are drawn in layer 20, Dimension. You have to

    generate data from this layer, as well. By default our CAM jobs

    output Dimension together with the silk screen layers.
