View Full Version : Orcad Layout not generating bottom copper gerber

Hi folks,

I am in deep trouble with Orcad Layout as it is refusing to generate the bottom copper gerber when I run the post processor. All it does is generate an exact replica of the top-copper. I can't even preview it using Window->Post Process, I get the top-copper again. I can see the tracks (the default red colored ones) on the screen but somehow they get mixed up when I try to generate the gerbers.

I have tried both 16.0 and 15.7 and both behave the same.

I have also tried google, but I couldn't find anything relevant to this problem.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Re-routing the whole board will take at least a week (which I don't have) so what can I do to recover the bottom copper layer?


Any help would be much appreciated.


[EDIT]: I meant to open this thread under 'Orcad Talk', apologies.

Cheers.
