Incompatible Gerber files


aburton

I am trying to make a simple pcb as my first design but having issues with companies that can produce the pcb.

If I create a simple rectangle using design spark it seems to get through the gerber checking process but I get these errors:

  • breakout with pads (Plot Report).txt(null): Non-gerber274X/excellon formats
  • breakout with pads - Bottom Copper (Paste).gbr(null): Non-gerber274X/excellon formats
  • breakout with pads - Bottom Copper.gbr(Bottom Layer):Gerber file with a board outline
  • breakout with pads - Documentation.gbr(null): Non-critical Gerber file
  • breakout with pads - Drill Ident Drawing - [Through Hole].gbr(drill chart): Non-critical

If I create a shape of a basic rectangle with 1mm rounded corners and export as 2d dxf into the board of pcb it all looks fine in pcb and can see 3d view but when uploading to the manufacture company they reject it saying there is legend in the copper layer on one company and a different company just does not show anything in the gerber viewer.

Is it me doing something wrong or  Is spark pcb not compatible or acceptable to these companys?

Thanks
