.CMP File not generated from CAM file

japper

I am using Eagle Cad light v 6.4.0 and have a CAM file that is set up to create a CMP file for

the component side but this .cmp file is not being created.

 

Below is the entry in my Cam file set up for the Component side. What am I doing wrong?


Thanks

    Hello,

     

    .cmp is the usual file extension for the bottom side Gerber file for more than 20 years now.

    Is it really a problem of not creating the file or could it be a matter of the Windows Explorer not showing files with already assigned file extensions? As far as I know Explorer does not show known file extensions by default. Could you please check this?

    On the other hand it is no problem to use a different file extension. You could for example use *.top instead of *.cmp  and *.bot instead of *.sol.

     

    Best regards,

    Richard

    It looks like the CMP file has been hijacked and associated with a Zuken viewer...

     

    All the other gerber files are associated with a windows shell program.

     

    Does anyone know what the correct choice for file association should be for this file?

     

    Thanks
