Hi folks,
I have a problem when i try to generate gerber files with altium designer. I have a two layers board with polygon poors acting as nested powering regions. When i generate the cam file there is no problem, but as soon as i export the gerber files for my top and bottom layers, all my pooring is removed...??!!!
Do you have any suggestion how to resolve this problem???à
Thanks
jack
 

Why do you need to export the Gerber files. Altium will create the Gerber files directly,no need to export.
 

I am experiencing the same issue. I have a simple two-layer board that I need to send out for manufacturing. I am doing the following:

File>Fabrication Outputs>Gerber Files
- Select the layers (in this case top and bottom copper layers)

The cam document then appears but it only has the bottom layer pour with the bottom layer traces. The top layer pour and traces are gone except for the border which is in the top layer.

I then do the following:
File>Export>Gerber

It creates the two gerber files (Top and bottom) which I then open. The bottom layer has nothing and the top layer has a solid rectangle of copper.

I have not encountered any problems with this method for creating gerber files before, but then again, this is the first time I am using poly pours. In the past my boards have been just traces. Is there an issue with Altium's poly pours or is there something else that I should do to preserve the pours?

Any help will be appreciated.
