Excellon format

Former Member

Hello,

 

I RTM but I can't find any answer to my questions. Perhaps I'm looking

for the wrong keywords.

 

The software of my cnc machine can read nc files with the following

limitations:

 

- units: mm

- format: 2:3, 2:4, 2:5, 4:2, 4:3, 4:4

 

Is there a way to configure the EAGLE cam processor to output a file

that meets the constraints above?

 

Thanks!

Marco

    Hi,

     

    what exactly do you want to export? Drill data? If yes, you can modifiy

    the EXCELLON device in the file eagle.def.

    It looks like this now:

     

     

     

    Type     = DrillStation

    Long     = "Excellon drill station"

    Init     = "%%\nM48\nM72\n"

    Reset    = "M30\n"

    ResX     = 10000

    ResY     = 10000

    ;Rack     = ""

    DrillSize  = "%sC%0.4f\n"        ; (Tool code, tool size)

    AutoDrill  = "T%02d"             ; (Tool number)

    FirstDrill = 1

    BeginData  = "%%\n"

    Units    = Inch

    Select   = "%s\n"                ; (Drill code)

    Drill    = "X%1.0fY%1.0f\n"      ; (x, y)

    Info     = "Drill File Info:\n"\

                "\n"\

                " Data Mode         : Absolute\n"\

                " Units             : 1/10000 Inch\n"\

                "\n"

     

     

    ResX and ResY define the resolution. Currently 10000 steps

    per Inch. If you set it to 25400 per inch you are in a mm grid.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Cute!

    And for the number of decimals? Should I change something other?

     

    Thanks
