Problems in exporting Gerber files from Altium Designer to mayhewlabs.com

[Flavio112]

Hi,

Have somone any idea why when Im trying to export Gerber Files from Atium Designer to mayhewlabs.com ( for a better look ) i receive a view like this from attached files?
I mention that my PCB consists of 4 layers and i have difficulties only in viewing notations situated on bottom layer, the other ones layers are exported perfectly.
Or can some tell me a site where a can see these more realistic?

Thx

Not sure what you're trying to show us or trying to do. You can view your Gerbers right in Altium. You can also get a free third-party viewer like viewmate https://www.pentalogix.com/t/software-products/viewmate.

i used it (mayhewlabs) to make my gerber files look more realistic, that was the idea. But, probably, this site has a bug or something like this, i tought you know any solution, but this site isn t famous enough for sure.

If you want your Gerbers to look "more realistic" set Altium to 3D view.

Altium Designer has its own Gerber viewer named CAMtastic.

How do you define realistic for a Gerber file! Its an artwork, to create an image on copper for etching. You maybe better learning to check your Gerber and drill info against an IPC-D-356 file, rather than trying to get a "realistic" view of a Gerber file.

I know to obtain my Gerber Files and semnification of these. Look, the scope of my project isn t to manufacture the PCB for real. I need these for my license, so the main point is to look interesting, not to be practically correct.

What kind of license do you get for having something that may not be correct but “looks interesting”?
