The gerber file throws up an error like this

Is there a way to understand why it is happening?

    Hi @Niharika Kaja ,

    have you tried unzipping the .zip archive first? If that doesn't help, could you attach the files here?

    Best regards,
    Torben

    Hi @Niharika Kaja ,

    I tried importing the files and it seems that only three of them show the error:

    NIC_PCB-B_Paste
    NIC_PCB-B_Silkscreen
    NIC_PCB-NPTH-drl

    I then tried importing these into an online Gerber viewer and it seems that the error message is justified. There do not seem to be any layers included. Are these three files perhaps only spacers or similar?

    I attached the Feko model with the remaining files imported.

    Best regards,
    Torben
