altiumgerberpcb-design
I am currently working on a project. After everything done, I needed to make a Gerber File. I tried everything on the internet but I got nothing different than a black screen. I do not know which part I'm doing wrong.
I only used Top Layer of PCB. I need your help. Thanks!
In the 'Page Setup' at 'Scaling Mode' select 'Scaled Print' (instead of the default 'Fit Document on Page') and then set the Scale to 1.00
Once you've printed it, double check a couple of measurements in different areas of the board in case your printer doesn't scale perfectly enough.
I have downloaded the design you are dealing with. The gerber files, all layer files have .PHO extension.
If you rename the files as follows you will be able to open them in Altium:
I have identified the layers by the PDF appendix. For Pastemask (GBP, GBT) and Silkscreen layers you should search for their Altium extensions.
These modified files can be dragged and dropped into Altium, example for Top layer:
This way all layer files are easily openable in Altium.
Select the Menu → Tables → Layers Order option. Following dialog will be shown: Fill the cells as below.
Enable the Export to PCB option as follows: Menu → Tools → Netlist → Extract.
"After a netlist has been extracted from your CAM data, the File » Export » Export to PCB command becomes enabled" source
Now, select Menu → File → Export → Export to PCB and a new PCB document will be opened with the Top Layer.

I couldn't find where the problem is but found the solution. A friend of mine told me that create a new project and move the schematic and PCB files to this folder. This was interestingly worked.
