Thanks for your help. I've just tried this. GCPrevue reports 4 errors
when I import my gerber files: "Ignored unsupported parameter - LN".
- From what I could find with Google it seems that this parameter is only
for setting layer names and doesn't have any effect on the final image.

The shapes on the board look fine except that GCPrevue shows all "data
layers" in the gerber file in the positive way. There's one layer that I
think should be subtracted from the shapes. I've tried setting that
layer to "minus" and "composite" manually with no effect.

I'm worried because from the screenshot of CircuitCAM it's obvious that
in some places this layer is correctly subtracted from shapes and in
some places it is ignored.

Best regards
Tomaz
