Create Gerber Files using Eagle Here's the whole procedure to create the file which can help in creating listing and whole bunch of stuff useful for making PCBs in industry.
Thanks Chris! This solved my problems! When I look at my gerber viewer to look at the drill files, things look a little screwed up... but otherwise, all problems solved! Great tutorial!
thank you, sir!!! you have no idea how much time and aggravation this very informative video saved me. i wish they would just make these programs intuitive to begin with, but until they do the world desperately needs people like you!! :?)
Thank you so much. I have old version of EAGLE and was unable to find tutorial for it as new EAGLE version have completely different GUI. Thanks for guidance.
Thank you very much for this! I have a question ... I have added text to the bRestrict layer, using the vector font, so I can have text etched in my bottom layer copper. Following your tutorial, I should select the bRestrict layer when creating the *.sol file, right? When I do this and run the CAM processor, the text is missing from the *.sol file and the copper is just solid. What am I missing?
Hi Chris. Thanks for the video. You didn't mention a "Milling" Gerber file. My power connector has 3 rectangular slot holes in the board that show up in Eagle's layer 46 "Milling". I'm assuming I need a Gerber file for this. Can you help me please?
I am trying to process job and have saved it as per your instructions, but still there is an error that pops up saying - can't open.... could you please let me know how to correct this?
Hello, thank you for posting your work. I have a question. well, I do not have a valid copy of the eagle, but unfortunately I'm using an alternative copy, it turns out that my copy does not generate the Gebers, aao least not know how to make it generate. I followed step by step his teaching, and only able to generate geber in the demo program, unfortunately this program limits the maximum size of the pcb in 10x10cm. the pcb I need to build has a far greater size 40x15 cm. well my question, how do I generate geber for this my pcb? Can you help me with this job? Thank you My name is Evanildo and I am Brazilian, live in the city of Sao Paulo. I'm sorry I do not speak English'm using an electronic translator.

Hi, I have ben several difficulties for convert PCB to GCODE on Eagle Cad. I don't have problems with miling the PCB, but only with to convert the drill file to gcode. How can I get the "Drill coordinates" from eagle cad for I do my "drill Gcode" by my hand?Is it possible I get drill coordinates in form of Gerber???
Hi there! I have been following your tutorial and everytime I press the process button at 5:55 an error message pops up saying " Cant open C\Users\Documents\eagle\my projects name\Gerbers\Schematics1.pls No such file or directory Can anyone help?
He does say: *.cmp - Components (from the tradition of the component placement at the top layer) *.sol -Solder layer (Bottom) *.plc Component Silk (place) *.pls Solder Silk (bplace) *.stc Stop components *.sts Stop Solder *.ncd NC Drill file
thanks akash your videos has really helped me since year 2012 GOD JEHOVAH bles your kind heart sir
Two years and one major release later, this video's still relevant. It really helped me a lot, thanks!
Thanks a lot for this video, not having done this before I found it confusing to try to figure out

Excellent tutorial , THANKS !
This really saved my bacon! Thanks a ton!
Great tutorial. My first Gerber run is more likely to be more successful. Thanks!
excelent tutorial. thank you !
Thank you so much. I have old version of EAGLE and was unable to find tutorial for it as new EAGLE version have completely different GUI. Thanks for guidance.
Dude you are a life saver, thanks!

The square that limit your pcb. I don't have.
Could you tell how I can get it and which layer it haves?
Great
Thanks
Hi, great video, but I have a question, where can I download the Gerber Viewer, I can't find it. Thank you!

I have problem with EXCELLON drill hole is not correct showing in Gerber viewer hole is scaled up how to fix this problem?
Mirror output. This option normally causes negative coordinates, therefore it should be used only if "pos. Coord." is selected, too. what dose mean
I cannot open these files with Gerber viewer...."Could not read the ..."
yo hice un FPCB on esta tecnica ya que en china me pedian el gerber
un saludo

Hi I would like to learn that too!
What about milling file?
Hi there! I have been following your tutorial and everytime I press the process button at 5:55 an error message pops up saying " Cant open C\Users\Documents\eagle\my projects name\Gerbers\Schematics1.pls
No such file or directory
Can anyone help?
Hi, Do you the my4pcb.com free gerber file check program. Can you do a youtube video on that?
Sorry by my bad English...
Nice video, but you kinda blew righyt through those last few steps. I don't know how to open the "Gerber Viewer", you never gave any instructions
You don't say why anything is given those extensions. You just say, lets it use these random layers and give it this extension for no reason.
He does say:
*.cmp - Components (from the tradition of the component placement at the top layer)
*.sol -Solder layer (Bottom)
*.plc Component Silk (place)
*.pls Solder Silk (bplace)
*.stc Stop components
*.sts Stop Solder
*.ncd NC Drill file
too much work
