Gerber files (layers) are not displaying properly
1 Comment
Most likely FAB 3000 cannot find the *.rep files. These are the report files which tell what widths to use in the gerber file. Here are three suggestions:
1. Try using our feature called "AutoLoad" (located in FAB 3000 menu: File | Import | AutoLoad..."), and select the folder that contains both the *.pho files and *.rep files. FAB 3000 will automatically sort & load everything.
2. If possible from your PADS software, output gerbers as RS-274X. This is the newer gerber format, and the *.rep file is placed inside the Gerber files (*.pho).
3. If you are still not getting it to load correctly into FAB 3000, e-mail those *.pho & *.rep (in a zip file) to support@numericalinnovations.com , and we'll create an online movie tutorial showing how to load the files.
