Many footprints contain mechanical “courtyard” or “pick and place” data on these layers. Disabling “ Mechanical Layers to Add to All Gerber Plots”Īltium tools have the option Mechanical Layers to Add to All Gerber Plots, which must have all layers unchecked. Just upload a zip file containing those two folders and we’ll know where to look to find the files we need. Our system can automatically detect when a zip file of gerbers has been generated by CircuitMaker, so it’s not necessary to rename any files or move anything around into different folders. The output files will be created in two folders called Gerbers and NC Drill. You’ll want to follow our instructions to generate gerbers and NC drill files that match what our system expects to see. You’ll want to set our 2 layer and 4 layer design rules when starting a new CircuitMaker PCB design. Design RulesĮach of our fabrication services has a unique set of design rules that limit how close and small your traces and vias can be to each other before the process fails and you get unusable boards. Altium CircuitMaker is a free community-driven PCB design tool that has the look and feel of Altium Designer.
