PCB Order Mirrored?

[Alec Hayward]

Has anyone ever order from seeed studio, my order was mirrored?

Do i need to mirror when exporting gerber?

Thanks

Ok so how do i mirror?

I downloaded the Seeed_Gerber_Generater_2-layer.cam and use that off the site:

http://support.seeedstudio.com/knowledgebase/articles/493833-what-is-gerber-file


Do i click mirror for every one of the layer below?

• Top Layer: pcb.GTL
• Top Solder Mask: pcb.GTS
• Top Silkscreen: pcb.GTO
• Bottom Layer: pcb.GBL
• Bottom Solder Mask: pcb.GBS
• Bottom silkscreen: pcb.GBO
• Board Outline: pcb.GML/GKO
• Drills: pcb.TXT

You dont normally need to, thats old fashioned What PCB package did you draw it in.? Post your design files here.

I have never heard of this or had to do It?
I have used Orcad and Kicad from local PCB manuf to US and then offshore (China) and submitted just Gerber files.
No mirror required?

You do not to mirror all the layer files in Gerber format. You just need to provide all the Gerber files and drill file to the PCB manufacturer. They know how to recognize them.

The standard (with our local PCB manufacturer's instruction PDF file) which accompanies the order form, states that ALL layers must appear in GERBER format, viewed TOP view, so the bottom layer will be seen as if viewed from the bottom. The CNC ( or other) software at their end will arrange it correctly.

Legacy thread:
But the ones I got back from Seeed were fine with the Gerber produced by Kicad.
