DDB Database/P99SE/SP6/W2k What I'm saying is, open project X, generate Gerber's/export Gerber's and they go to project X directory (correct). Open project Y, generate Gerber's/export Gerber's and they go to project X directory (wrong). Open project Z, generate Gerber's/export Gerber's and they go to project X directory (wrong again).
Are you saying I'm the only one this happens to?
