Re: Gerbers from EDA

You only need to make one gerber for manufacturing - boardname.gbl- the
bottom layer ( solder side). When you put on the "G" it should be placed
mirrored so that when it is plotted, it reads correctlly

Say one lays out a one-sided board with the letter "G" in the lower left
corner.
Then make four gerbers: X asis, Y asis; X mirrored, Y asis; X asis, Y
mirrored; and X mirrored, Y mirrored.
That is to say, you *TELL* the EDA to do those operations, eXplicitly!

Please tell me the following:
1) What does -->your<-- EDA generate - ie: what did it *really* do?
2) What is the *standard* for the fab shops, and exactly why?
