Hi Bruce

?

Thanks very much for the reply.

?

It seems to be solved and something to do with the GND polygon. I deleted the polygon that was there- redid it and it was back to how I intended..

?

All very strange for a beginner. A simple board has taken me hours and hours to get this far. For me, Eagle is a very steep learning curve.

I believe you need to go into pcb-gcode-setup and tell it which layer to etch, top or bottom only.

Hi Guys

?

This is my first attempt at using Eagle and PCB_Gcode.

?

I have a very simple 12 keypad with smt resistor network.

?

All was going well and Eagle looks good with top layer as expected with tracks /pads/resistors etc. Bottom just had Key pads as expected. All looks good in Eagle Manufacturing with top/bottom layers as expected.

?

The first few runs ?of PCB_Gcode did as expected but now on the bottom layer I¡¯m getting an exact ?mirror of the top layer. I¡¯m getting the tracks etc instead of just the pads.

?

I¡¯ve checked and rechecked everything that I can think of to no avail.

?

It¡¯s almost certainly a newbie error!

?

An advice much appreciated.

?

Regards
