I'm happily using gschem & PCB to design my board, and now I'm actually thinking about fabricating it :) For a 2-layer board, PCB Express requires the following Gerber files: Top & Bottom - positive polarity Aperture/Dcode file (if not RS274X) Excellon Drill file Drill Tool list (if not embedded within NC Drill file) Soldermask Top & Bottom - positive polarity Silkscreen 1 or 2 sides - positive polarity Super newbie question: how do I generate these files? And what is RS274X? And do you have any tricks/pitfalls recommendations for generating these files?
I have done around 20 boards on either four or five panels from PCB Express without problems. They have been very easy to deal with. Panelizing is not an issue. When there was a Fedex problem with my PCB shipment and the shipment couldn't be tracked they made a second batch of boards and sent them overnight delivery at no charge. I consider this excellent service since the mistake was most likely on the Fedex side. I received the original batch of boards a few days after the second batch.
