Gerber file with different extension

C Shiva
 Hi All,

 We got a reply from a Fab house at Taiwan as bellow,

"There gerber files we need are separated by layer to layer for PCB manufacturer to produce.

The gerber files are having the extension . apr, .DRL, .DRR, .GBL, .GBO., .GBS.,…….etc.

Please provide these files to us."

But i didn't find such files except .DRL in our Allegro PCB design L v16.01 tool. Is it the extension of gerber files generated by other tools like PAD's, Zauken?

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks and Best regards,

Shiva.

    By default, the PCB Editor Gerber files all all have the same ART file extension. You can change the extension from Setup>User Preferences, File Management, Versioning, ext_artwork. You can also specify a film name that includes a file extension, in which case this will override the "ext_artwork". Note that the artwork film names are restricted to 17 characters, the prefix / suffix from the General Parameters tab will then be added if specified.
