Ridgh,
Having read all the previous comments, I can't help think that you are
just confusing the Camtastic CAM file display. Yes the Camtastic cam file is a
composite of all your Gerbers. It displays each Gerber file as one layer and
each layer should align directly over it's counterparts. In that way it is a
composite view but it is not a composite Gerber file. Each layer is a different
Gerber file all read into the Camtastic viewing window to show an overlaying
view of all layers.
For each layer (Gerber file) you can set different colors. That way you
can see the different layers just as you would in the actual PCB design tool.
While the files are Camtastic you could regenerate the Gerber again
from what is viewed on screen and export them to another directory. That would
be kind redundant unless you changed/edited them in Camtastic, because the
originals that were read into Camtastic are already in your directories
somewhere as others had indicated already.
Hope this is what was confusing you, seemed like a possibility from
what I had been reading.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander

Thank you Dave,
I did exactly what you said, and all I got is the composite .cam file in
Camtastic. No drilling, just a nice but useless picture.
I'm sure I'm missing something - but have no idea what....
Regards,
Ridgh
