Problems exporting drills in eagle 8.7.0

Sorry for taking this post back, but to me it looks like the problem is not solved, even using legacy Excellon CAM job.

 

I tried three viewers (webGerber (http://mayhewlabs.com/webGerber/) , GerbV and FlatCAM), and all of them gave me the same problem: scaled drill points with respect to the gerber.

 

This is the export from Eagle 8/9 (using legacy Excellon) notice that the drill point are all over this green area, when the components are all on the bottom right corner):

 

That looks like the classic problem that the excellon format fails to

specify the meaning of its coordinates, and viewers often pick the wrong

number of decimal places. The result, as you have, is that the drill

locations are displayed at ten times larger coordinates than they should

be. The fix is to manually set the number format in the viewer.

This is the export from Eagle 6, with the same CAM files (default Gerber and Excellon CAMs):

 

Yes, but the odd thing here is not the problem with V9 but the fact that

you aren't having the problem on V6, because lots of people did.

I tested both option, eagle 8.5.2 and 8.7 with the legacy excellon in 2.5 and have got the results I should. This is really strange, beacuse the gerbers are looking great.

Hi,

As Rachael stated, using the legacy EXCELLON CAM processor should work just fine. Make sure you are setting up your Gerber/Drill viewer correctly for drill file with the following parameters:

Leading Zeros suppressed

2.5 format

Absolute values

Inches

Make sure not to convert the legacy CAM job to the new format.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Edwin

Hello,

8.7.1 won't fix the issues you are seeing with the new CAM exporter, it's going to take them a bit more time to resolved the issues I think.

However, I think when you tried to use the legacy Excellon CAM job and you said it didn't work, maybe there was an error in the way you were trying to use it which meant you weren't actually using the old CAM exporter as this should work exactly the same as in v8.5.2. Could you post up a video of how you were trying to export using the legacy CAM job? I think that might help identify where things are going wrong.

Best Regards,

Rachael

They have released the verson 8.7.1, do you still recomend me a previous version?

Right ok that should have worked....

Download and install 8.5.2 from here and try exporting using the CAM processor on that: http://eagle.autodesk.com/eagle/software-versions

I tried using the legacy, but didnt worked :/
