What is this error - CAM job doesn't cover the Layer Setup! Missing signal layers: 1 16

I am attempting to build my first board and I have encountered an error message as I try to run Excellon, on the other hand, Gerb274x is working smoothly.

CAM job doesn't cover the Layer Setup!

Missing signal layers: 1 16

What is wrong and has it something to do with the settings elsewhere?

Hello @Anonymous

thanks for your post here in the EAGLE Forum.

There seems to be a mismatch between the layer stackup in the board and the layers you selected for exporting manufacturing data.

Please check the layer stackup in the Design Rules, Layers tab in the layout. A typical stackup for a two layer board would look like this: (1*16)

For the export of Gerber data you need to create data for the Top layer (layers 1 17 18 selected in the CAM Processor) and for the Bottom layer (16 17 18 selected).

For drill data you need to select layers 44 Drill and 45 Holes in the CAM Processor. Drill data can go into one common file or you could have separate files for Drills and Holes. Depends on your preference.

Could you please check the layers selected in the CAM Processor for the drill export? Do you use 44 and 45?

Hope this helps.

Regards,
