Hello news readers !.

I am trying to convert the Mentor Boardstation data to IS data.
But I met this error message in my .log file :
"d:/pilot/v5iu_ve/icx/V5IU_VE.ndd, line 53526: error: Layer PHYSICAL_27
cannot be a bottompad layer. A previous layer was bottompad layer."
The content of line number 53526 in V5IU_VE.ndd is like above :

What can I repair this problem?
And addtionally, please let me know how to define or make the Artwork
order and Board Stackup in Mentor Graphics Boardstation.

Please help me !

If you have any knowhow or experiences about that, those things are very
helpful to me.
You are a great help.
