Layer Setting

To generate a PCB design file using Gerber files, you must properly load the necessary files for the layers. When the data is imported into PollEx PCB, you need to define layers of the Gerber files.

When Gerber files are imported into PollEx PCB, physical layers are not defined. Imported Gerber files can be viewed in the Layer menu. For more details, refer to the Layer section in PollEx PCB user guide.
