Eurocircuits and V6 .brd files

Former Member

Just mailed two designs to Eurocircuits this afternoon made by Eagle V6.

Received a reject as 'does not look to be a valid .brd file'.

I wonder if they know about the changes in V6?

    Quite likely they haven't upgraded their software to deal with that yet.

     

    However, you shouldn't be sending Eagle BRD files to board houses anyway.

    That leaves too many judgement calls for the board house to make.  Create

    the gerber files yourself, then the board house knows what to do, and you

    can take the files to any other board house too.  Most board houses don't

    want Eagle files, or charge extra for doing the conversion to gerbers for

    you.
