Gerber Problem

pakistan

 Hi,

When I create gerber it shows exectly the same as our brd file in camtastic, but after fab brd have some pads shrted to GND. We claim that our gerbers are correct but they show us on cam350 these pads were shorted. according to fab house some thing may be wrong with gerber genration because in cam350 layers are shown as composite layers. Can any one help me to find out the actual problem then we are able to not repeat the same problem.

Thanks  & Regards

    Hi,

    The gertool and older versions of CAM350 will create the composite layers. Newer versions of CAM350 will combine them into a composite layer. What you are seeing is the way the gerber viewers read in the RS274X data. I would suggest trying to review your gerbers using the File>Export>ODB++. You will have to work with your board house. They should provide you with X,Y locations of the shorts.
