The EasyGerb Composite Merge dialog allows you to create a merged file, in an ordered fashion and assign Dark/Clear attributes.

documentNote: EasyGerb allows you to create a merged composite gerber file in a snap!

 

documentNote: If you have selected the Gerber Output of "RS-274D", then you will not be able to assign features: "Dark/Clear", "Positive/Negative", or "Mirror/No Mirror".

 

documentNote: Negative and Mirror options placed in the Merged Gerber file (if you have selected), will not appear in most Gerbers Viewer.  To get a "True" representation of your Gerber files, make sure to use our CAM software FAB 3000

Merged File:

The name of the Merge Gerber file.

 

 

Positive/Negative:

Determine whether the film will be "Positive or Negative". If "Negative" is selected, a setting in the Merged Gerber file header will be added to allow the file to be plotted with a negative polarity.

 

documentNote: This option has no effect for RS-274D gerber files.

 

 

No Mirror/Mirror:

Determine whether the film will be mirrored. If "Mirror" is selected, a setting in the Merged Gerber file header will be added to allow the file to be plotted with a mirrored image.

 

documentNote: This option has no effect for RS-274D gerber files.

 

 

Select Layer(s):

Select layers to be included in merge.  If you are creating a composite layer (ie. using Dark and Clear polarities), the order is very important. For more information please see Learn Guide: Creating Composite Gerbers (Dark/Clear)

 

 

Polarity:

Determine the indivual polarity for each merged layer.  Choose from Dark or Clear.
