Actually one more question.  I ran the CAM job, I don't see the *.drd

file, the drill file, generated.  I see the *.dri file generated.  Is

that the drill file?

 

If you had simply looked at it you would have seen it is the drill

information file, not the drill data file.  You first run DRILLCFG, then

the Excellon CAM processor job to create the actual drill data.

 

Thanks, Sparkfun tutorials didn't say.  Only mentioned the sfe-gerb274x.cam

file.

Sorry for such noob questions, but my first board and I wanted to make sure

everything is good.

So, per this posting, I get ""Warning: More than one signal layer active!"

when running a CAM job on  *.brd file, that's because I have traces routed

both the bottom and top layers.  Is that correct?

(Also I was able to gerbv gerber file viewer and confirm all the details.)

Thanks.

I don't see what Sparkfun has to do with this.  You should be following the

Eagle documentation.

Probably not.  You need to make a separate Gerber file for each layer of

the board.  You can use my Generic2L CAM job, which is included in the

Eagle Tools release I mentioned in your other thread.  That has the Gerber

file outputs defined you would likely ever want.  Just temporarily delete

the ones you don't need, run the job, then don't save it so all the layers

are there to select from next time too.  Take a look at my EAGLE_PCB BAT

file in the COM directory.  The comments contain a checklist of things to

do to go from finished board design to board fab files for a board house.
