The use of PADS layers is as follows
TOP top layer - used for routing and pendulum components
BOTTOM bottom layer - used for routing and pendulum components
LAYER-3 to LAYER-20 The general layer, not the electrical layer, can be used to extend the electrical layer, and can also be used to make some indications, such as the indication of the gerber impedance line.
Solder mask top The top layer of copper is covered with no green oil
Paste mask bottom, the bottom steel mesh, you know the steel mesh
Paste mask top top layer steel mesh
Drill drawing hole layer

Pad tips
1. Use filter to select the stuff you want to delete, then select it and delete it.
2. Select only Lable in the Filter, select the entire board on the board diagram, select all the component labels, select the Property, you can modify the size of all component labels, the thickness of the font, and so on.
3.Solde Mask is used to draw green oil? Is this layer produced by the PCB board manufacturer?//This layer is a solder mask, and each component has a solder mask. You have to do a special part, the normal part is ignored. As for where to build, feel free. I usually give it to the PCB manufacturer after it is generated.
4. Is Paste Mask used for drying? Isn't this layer only generated by going to the patch factory?//This layer is a solder paste coating layer. Only the pads of the chip components are available. Generally, you are good. GERBER gave the steel mesh factory.
5. What is the role of the edit bar in the PADS Pad dialog box?//Mainly used for pads where some of the pads and vias are not at the center of the via, and can be flexibly applied in other aspects.
6. Steps to join the company format box: Drafting Toolbar---from library---******* (library name) library selection.
7. The number of sheets output by Gerber files is N+8 sheets in total.
