Gerber File Output

Layout Gerbers (GerbView)
1

Hi all,

Can anyone help me with the file formats of the generated files when I create gerbers?

In one example, I plotted my project in PCB view, and I get files with the filetypes:

.gbl, .gbs, .gbo, .gm1, .gtl, .gto.

In a different project, I get all the same filenames, but the file types are all .gbr.

Any ideas?

Thanks

The difference very likely is:

Pcbnew / File / Plot / (Plotformat: Gerber ) Gerber Options: / Use Protel filename extensions.
