Thank you for the licence key (30 days) for testing FAB 3000.

I managed to produce designs what we are interested in. I could

not find solution to produce from FAB 3000 negative print for

the TOP (and inverted ) and BOTTOM copper. The PDF output is

correct for the positive PCB production process. I tried

FILM wizard by I could not produce negative prints as well. Could

you inform me how I can do that if it is possible within package

as I could not find how to do it in HELP manual.

Film Wizard would be a perfect solution to create Negative Print for Gerber layers. Please see movie tutorial below:

1. Load Gerber Files.
2. Start Film Wizard.
3. Review Options

4. Choose a film size that is large enough to surround the extents of your Design.
Note: MAke sure to choose a 1 x 1, so it will be the only layer per film. You can merge multiple gerber layers onto one film, layer but I believe for this tutorial purpose it's easier to understand 1UP -- and this may be what you're after anyways.

5. Select here if you wish any layers to be Negative (Inverted) or Mirrored.

Notice that FAB 3000 has created a separate layer for each Gerber (i.e. film). You may now export those film layers as Gerber.
