Issues with Copper Area Color in Gerber Files and Via Stitching Method

sysy019
sysy019 over 1 year ago

Hello,

I am currently facing an issue with my Gerber file outputs in Circuit Studio where the copper areas are not displaying the expected colors. Instead of a solid color for the copper regions, I am seeing colored lines that separate these areas, which is not the desired result. This problem seems to be unique to my files, as others are generated correctly.

I have followed the instructions in a video tutorial (link to the video tutorial), which indicates that the inner layer colors should automatically fill the defined areas upon separation. However, my results are not consistent with this.

Here are the details of my problem:

  • Gerber files are displaying separated lines with color, instead of solid colored copper areas.
  • I have attempted to replicate the process as shown in the video tutorial without success.
  • This issue occurs only with my Gerber files, not with others.

I have attached my Gerber file for your reference and review. Could you please help me identify what I might be doing wrong in Circuit Studio?

Additionally, I am looking for guidance on how to perform via stitching within Circuit Studio. If there is a standard method or a tool available for this, please provide the necessary instructions or direct me to relevant resources.

Thank you for your assistance.

    From the image, it looks like the Gerber layer is generated negative, or inverse. This is sometimes done for internal plane layers or soldermask layers and from my experience the board houses prefer to…

    I took a quick look, that definitely looks messed up by the software. Are you sure there isn't a setting somewhere for those inner layers, to not invert them? Maybe you added the inner layers but have…
