John, Sorry I couldn't respond sooner. I've been caught up in a machining project for the past few days.
The PCB archive you posted has a naming scheme that I'm not familiar with. Can you send me a link that explains what the various files are? Some of them, I can guess, but I've really only worked with OSHpark, and their scheme is: boardname.GTL Top Layer boardname.GBL Bottom Layer boardname.GTS Top Soldermask boardname.GBS Bottom Soldermask boardname.GTO Top Silkscreen boardname.GBO Bottom Silkscreen boardname.GKO Board Outline boardname.G2L only if you're uploading a four layer board boardname.G3L only if you're uploading a four layer board boardname.XLN Drills Thanks! - Alex On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 3:10 PM, John Monahan <[email protected]> wrote: > Here is the 80386 .zip file I sent to PCBCart Alex > > John > > > > > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] *On > Behalf Of *J.
