How come I am not able to import from gerber generated from eagle v8?

The gerbers and drills are contained in an Eagle zip file, however Eagle creates nested sub-folders which contain the Gerbers, Drill, etc.   When FAB 3000 imports a zip file it will search one "nested" folder deep for the gerber files.

For example if you were to unzip an Eagle output file it would look like this,


YourSampleEagleOutput.zip
    CAM_Outputs
         Gerber Files
               *** All Gerber files are found in folders several levels deep.

To import those gerbers, you'll need to unzip the file and then import each folder directly.  Here's a quick tutorial (no sound).  

We will add a feature in the next update of FAB 3000 to detect Eagle output, and search throughout all the nested folders.


Best regards,

Simon
