Select the appropriate layer:
- mosaic: Top (sometimes Component) , Bottom (sometimes Copper )
- soldiermask layers: Top Solder , Solder Bottom ( Stop Mask )
- description layers: Top Overlay , Bottom Overlay ( Silkscreen , Silk , Component )
- PCB outline: Keepout, Dimension
We recommend Extended Gerber or Gerber to be selected as the layers' format; parameters:
- inch (imperial, english),
- 2:3,
- omit leading zeros,
- absolute coordinates,
- coding ASCII.
And the drill files – Excellon format (parameters like for the Gerber files), plus the tools file.
