DK Red Improper gbr Loading

I’m attempting to upload some gbr files into DK Red and running into several issues.

For the soldermask layer, I use the dropdown menu select and choose my soldermask layer, but once loaded I receive an error that it does not qualify for DK Red because it is missing a soldermask file.

Additionally, in the preview, some of the copper layers load differently than they were drawn. Specifically, annular rings around connector pins.

Any help? Thanks.

Thank you for your inquiry.

If you want you can direct message me your zip archive, I can take a look on our end to see if anything stands out.

Here’s one board (there’s 6 total but they all have the same problem)
FIXED_BRICK_BRD.zip (7.2 KB)

Sometimes if the naming convention doesn’t detect the layer properly on the first try manually setting the layer doesn’t fix the issue.

I renamed the files the following

BoardOutline
BottomCopperLayer
BottomLayerSolderMask
PlatedVias
TopCopperLayer
TopLayerSolderMask

And it worked for DKRed service.
