Viewmate and drill (drd) files

CasaDelGato

I'm attempting to use ViewMate to view my gerber files before

submitting them to PCBExpress.

The problem is that the .drd file seems to have the drill pattern MUCH

larger than the top/bottom layers, nor does it even look like it would

be correct if it was scaled down.

 

I'm pretty sure the problem is the way I'm using ViewMate to view

them.  Anyone used this tool with EagleCAD/PCBExpress gerber files?

Suggestions?

    I suppose you have to define the data format of the EXCELLON

    data you want to import into ViewMate.

    EAGLE exports 2.4 format in inch.
