    Do you have a long path to your .brd file?  This is when I typically see this issue.  What version of ODB++ INSIDE do you have?  The current version, v2604, was just on released April 28, 2026 and it is supposed fix:  

    EBS-178618 — Translation fails for designs on mapped drives with long path names.
    Resolution: Fixed.

    Thank you for the reply

    The board file path is not long. And also ODB++ Version is latest.

    Check that you can Generate Artwork / Export Gerber. Check the Classes and Subclasses for all the Films and check that you don't have any entries with (null) for the Class, or Subclass, delete (Cut) any of those that you find.
