Gerber File export function on the PCB Antenna Application made all my previously saved work go missing.

I was using the Gerber File export function on the PCB Antenna Application and all my previously saved work is no longer in the MATLAB folder and I do not know where it is or what happened to it. I checked the deleted files on MATLAB drive and it is empty. I was using Gerber Export and tried to export as a PCB writer and selected the file name to where my MATLAB documents were saved.

Hi @Ana,

I understand that you were attempting to export a PCB Antenna design into a Gerber file using the PCB writer, but you can't find the exported file in your current working folder.

Typically, you should be able to see a zip file containing the Gerber files in the same folder of your PCB antenna design files. I am using the ‘pcbAntennaDesigner’ app for exporting, and I exported with the default name "untitled".

Below is a snapshot of the Gerber Export window:

After exporting, a zip file should be created in the current working folder, as shown below. Your previously save designs should be present.

I hope this helps!
