Post by thread:[EE] How to generate gerber data files

Augusto, What you need to do is to run your board through one of the cam processors. In the control panel, you will see a section for Cam Processors (or something similar, I don't have eagle on this computer). Look in there and I'm sure you need the one that says Gerber274 (or something similar). To generate the drill files, there should be an Excellon.cam. These are the ones I use to run our milling maching at school, it might be different for the factory you are dealing with. There are also lots of tutorials online to help you along the way. -Tarun.

In my 4.0 manual it is in chapter 9 "preparing the manufacturing data".

Tarun, Thank you for your help. I did it selecting the output device GERBER_RS274X, then executing the Process Job button, a Warning appears telling me more than 1 signal layer is active. It is all to get the gerber data?

I'd venture a guess that you either have it installed in your Eagle directory, or you could download it at the Cadsoft website. Might want to check there.

That's basically what I said, except I tried to attach a script I use that builds the ZIP file. The script comments contain a checklist that I go thru religiously each time I make a PCB fab package in Eagle. Unfortunately the list server said: {Quote hidden}> This report relates to a message you sent with the following header > fields: > > Message-id: <003e01c55bc3$138809c0$RemoveME780010acTakeThisOuTradianse.com> > Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 12:03:03 -0400 > From: spamBeGoneolin_piclistspamBeGoneembedinc.com (Olin Lathrop) > To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public." <TakeThisOuTpiclistEraseMEspam_OUTmit.edu> > Subject: Re: [EE] How to generate gerber data files > > Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients: > > Recipient address: RemoveMEpiclistTakeThisOuTmit.edu > Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred > Diagnostic code: smtp;554 5.7.1 Executable attachments not accepted > Remote system: dns;fort-point-station.mit.edu > (TCP|206.46.252.46|41928|18.7.7.76|25) (MIT.EDU ESMTP Sendmail > [no collect or third party calls] at Wed, 18 May 2005 12:02:52 -0400 > [EDT]) So I guess I can't attach a BAT file since the list server thinks we're all idiots and execute any attachment we receive without applying any thought first. Personally, I think anyone dumb enough to execute attachments doesn't belong on the internet and deserves to have his files deleted, and that none of this is business of the list server anyway. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com
