When generating Gerber files for a multi-layer PCB, how can you ensure that the drill file aligns correctly with the copper layers?

hard📝 Scenario Q9 of 15

PCB Design - Manufacturing Output

AIgnore drill files if copper layers are correct

BUse the same coordinate origin and units for both Gerber and drill files

CManually adjust drill positions after fabrication

DGenerate drill files separately without alignment settings

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand alignment importance
Drill files must share the same origin and units as Gerber files to align properly.
Step 2: Exclude incorrect practices
Generating drill files separately without alignment or manual post-fabrication fixes cause errors.
Final Answer:
Use the same coordinate origin and units for both Gerber and drill files -> Option B
Quick Check:
Matching origin and units ensures drill alignment [OK]

Quick Trick: Match origin and units for drill and Gerber files [OK]
