Eagle Cad version issue regarding Excellon drill description file (*.drd)

mclapd
mclapd over 10 years ago

Hi Experts,

 

I found a issue regarding drd file on Eagle 7.2.0 but I couldn't find any issue on other Eagle version with exactly same condition.

- Same license

- Same computer

- Same PCB design

 

It doesn't make sense so I tested several times and got same result.

So, I tested other version like 7.0.0, 6.5.0 but they worked well. Generated Gerber file looked okay.

My next step was change computer and tried same thing with 7.2.0. Unfortunately, same issue happened on other machine.

 

So I am carefully thinking this is bug in Eagle 7.2.0. Could anybody advise me how to resolve this issue?

Actually, I have just purchased Eagle standard (I was using Eagle lite. Standard edition is 10 times expensive than lite!)

I really want to use latest version. image

Anyway thanks in advance.

 

Chris

Regards

 

Please find attached picture and files(drd)...

Blue : Correct drill position and size (6.5.0, 7.0.0, 7.1.0)

Pink : Wrong drill position and size (7.2.0)

    Hi,

     

    The difference is a 10 factor due to the better resolution in the 7.2 drd file. ( if you compare the 2 drd file you will notice an extra digit, this mean that the unit is simply not the same).

     

    I think that is some case, the precision wasn't enough, so they add an extra digit.

     

    Guillaume.

    Thanks for reply,

     

    Only drd, dri files are wrong. they are generated by excellon,CAM in common. Other files generated by gerber274x,cam don't have any problem (same size/resolution as 7,1 or others)

    I can't seem to believe that is due to different resolution or scale issue because hole size is extremely small compared with gap btw holes.

    excellon.cam on 7.2 and 7.3 are exactly same so I can see only difference is Eagle Cad version.
