Eagle Gerber Drill

ljm2509

Hey!

So i have made a PCB in eagle, but when i export it as a Gerber, there is "no drill file". i have a .drd file, but it looks like this:

Apparently this isnt a drill file. this is the Drills, Holes and Milling layers.

Board place wont manufacture it because this is a drill guide not a drill layer.

any help?

Thanks,

Lucas

    First off, technically, the "Gerber" format doesn't do drills at all.

    The drill file is usually in "Excellon" format. It's just that they're

    always bundled together so people get lazy in their naming.

     

    OK, so you have a DRD file. This should be the Excellon file and

    certainly should not be an image. What you attached was a screen capture

    of the way this file is rendered by... something. The DRD file itself is

    plain text, so it would be more useful to post that.

     

    Also useful would be:

      -  the version of Eagle you're using

      -  the process you use to "export it as a Gerber"

      -  if that's the cam processor, the cam job files you used
