Gerber export problem with Eagle 5 Pro on Mac

autodeskguest

I'm in the process of switching to Eagle from my old package and I may

just be running into a "quirk" but I cannot seem to export a valid set

of gerber files from Eagle.

 

Its a 2 layer board, silk on top.  If I export it and a drill file, the

silkscreen, drill and top layer all line up, but the bottom layer and

mask are "warped".  Components on the ends and in the very middle of the

board look aligned, but elsewhere on the board they are not aligned at

all and look shifted to the left.  I've looked at the files using gerbv,

gcpreview, and 4pcb's design check and in all cases the problem shows.

 

I am hoping later tonight to have time to try this under Windows XP ( I

guess this is why I bought the dual OS option ) and at that time I'll

have sample gerber's from both I can provide if someone wants to look at

them.

 

I'm hoping this is a known issue with how I'm using the package or

something.

 

Thanks.

    In case you still have problems, please send the files with mail,

    so I can check them.

    Tom;

    I just ran gerb274X on a 2 layer board.  I checked the results with

    GC-Prevue (v16.1.2), and the top and bottom layers were not lined up.  I

    discovered that in gerb274X that "mirror" was checked for the solder

    side.  I unchecked "mirror", ran the job again, and the layers did line up.
