Noob at this... trying to generate Gerber and its too big

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Ok so long story short, I fly RC aircraft one of them being micro size quadcopters, and I designed a circuit for one of them.  It looks good but when I try to export as a gerber using the CAM thing it makes the gerber files way too big... the size of the whole circuit is only about 25mm x 25mm or so but it makes the file huge (I use an online gerber viewer) webGerber

 

I have tried several "jobs" to no avail... getting very annoyed.  It makes the circuit correctly, but it makes the board way way too big.  I attached the brd file... if you can't help me do it myself, can someone at least do the gerber conversion for me? image

    I moved your zip file layout over to the origin (did group move) & generated the gerbers (use the CAM instructions from the manual to see the easy steps).

    There was some sort of error in opening your zip files, maybe some trace or lib info was not there.

     

    I then ran the gerb files into your 3d viewer:
