Gerber File Preparation Guide

Keep board fabrication data complete, consistent and easy to identify.

What to include

Provide copper, solder mask, silkscreen and outline layers as applicable, with the corresponding drill data. Include a drawing for dimensions and requirements not expressed in the layer files.
