Hi, In CAM Outputs go to 'Tools....Preferences'
The directory at the bottom which you point the CAM files to is in fact where protel will create an extra copy of the gerber files. If you set the Path to the design directory every time, Protel creates the Gerber files, then tries to overwrite these gerber files with a copy, hence the dialog. In JaMi's case, with the path set to x, the first time gerber zzz is created, there is probably no 'Overwrite?' Dialog, but subsequent F9 presses will produce one. Simply uncheck the 'Export copy to' box and you will find you only get one copy of the gerber files, in the correct design directory. Well, I do anyway ;-) Best Regards Paul -----Original Message----- From: JaMi Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 January 2003 21:31 To: Protel EDA Forum Cc: JaMi Smith Subject: Re: [PEDA] Pet Peeve (irritating lost feature) Brad, I am not sure what I am overwriting, and I am just using X and ZZZ to signify I have overwriten "something" a whole bunch of times. Next time I go thru the F9 process I will pay more attention. :-) JaMi * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
