Eagle to Gerber format

Converting Eagle printed circuit board layout files to Gerber format

File this under "things-I-should-have-learnt-to-do-many-years-ago-but-was-too-lazy-to-bother".

Many pcb fab outfits that do business with hobbyists and DIYers choose to accept Eagle .brd files, which means they do the conversion to Gerber output so you don't have to. I've relied on that for far too long, but when an error showed up in one the .pdf proofs on the last batch of boards I sent out for fabrication, they asked me to send the Gerber files instead. So I bit the bullet and after a couple of false starts managed to give them what they wanted. Looking back at it, it was easy and something I should have learnt, as I wrote up above, years ago, but, for posterity, here's how it's done:

Eagle 6.1~6.5 on Windows

1. Make a working folder for the Gerber files.
2. Copy the Eagle board (.brd) file to this directory.
3. Open Eagle (version 6.1)
4. Select menu item "file/open/CAM job"
5. The open file dialog appears, defaulting to the Eagle CAM directory. Open the file called "gerber.cam". The CAM Processor window now appears
6. From the CAM Processor windows select menu item "file/open/board" and open the .brd file you copied to the directory in step 2.
7. Click on the "Process Job" button. There is a short progress bar, maybe a warning about having more than one signal active.
8. A bunch of 8 new files are created in the working folder. As prompted, you should delete the temp file which ends in .$$$
9. OK, almost done. You still need to make the drill files. From the CAM Processor window, choose "file/open/job" and select "excellon.cam"
10. Click on the Process Job button again, and 2 new files are created, .dri and .drd
11. Delete, if you like, the original Eagle .brd file from the working folder. You should be left with 9 files (.cmp .drd .dri .gpi .plc .sol .stc .sts and .whl) Select them, and, on Windows at least, choose to add to a zip compressed archive.
12. That's it, you're done. The archive is ready to be sent off to the board manufacturer.

Update for Eagle 7.2

1. Make a working folder for the Gerber files.
2. Copy the Eagle board (.brd) file to this directory.
3. Open Eagle (version 7.2)
4. Select menu item "file/CAM processor
5. The 3 CAM processor window opens, choose file/open/job. Open the file called "gerber.cam".
6. From the CAM Processor windows select menu item "file/open/board" and open the .brd file you copied to the directory in step 2.
7. Click on the "Process Job" button. There is a short progress bar, maybe a warning about having more than one signal active.
8. A bunch of 8 new files are created in the working folder. As prompted, you should delete the temp file which ends in .$$$
9. OK, almost done. You still need to make the drill files. From the CAM Processor window, choose "file/open/job" and select "excellon.cam"
10. Click on the Process Job button again, and 2 new files are created, .dri and .drd
11. Delete, if you like, the original Eagle .brd file from the working folder. You should be left with 9 files (.cmp .drd .dri .gpi .plc .sol .stc .sts and .whl) Select them, and, on Windows at least, choose to add to a zip compressed archive.
12. That's it, you're done. The archive is ready to be sent off to the board manufacturer.

note: selecting job "Gerber274" seems to give the same result as "Gerber"
