Gbrjob MaterialStackup

If I generate a gbrjob file I notice that the it adds a MaterialStackup that has Material called out for tje Dielectric layers L1/L2, L3/L4 and L3/L4. The material is FR4 however, I have a layer of Rogers material. I’m looking for a place where this can be edited but cannot find it. If I go to FIle->Board Layers… I only see copper and not dielectric layers. Is this possible to edit or are these values hard coded?

KiCad 5.1.6 (Ubuntu 18.04)

“MaterialStackup”:
[
{
“Type”: “Legend”,
“Notes”: “Layer F.SilkS”
},
{
“Type”: “SolderPaste”,
“Notes”: “Layer F.Paste”
},
{
“Type”: “SolderMask”,
“Notes”: “Layer F.Mask”
},
{
“Type”: “Copper”,
“Notes”: “Layer F.Cu”
},
{
“Type”: “Dielectric”,
“Material”: “FR4”,
“Notes”: “Layers L1/L2”
},
{
“Type”: “Copper”,
“Notes”: “Layer Gnd.Cu”

In v6 you will be able to define the exact board layer stackup. I think you have to edit the file produced by 5.1 manually.

Thanks, that’s kind of what I suspected.

You can download standalone editor for Gerber job file from the Ucamco website. Free, but Windows only, I believe.

It looks like you are talking about this one:

There is a subtle “Free Download>>” link there.

Yes, that is the one.
