Problems exporting drills in eagle 8.7.0

Question

Hi!

I'm trying to export the .drd files for a CAM work with the excellon profile. The problem is the following, these are the Pads, Vias and Holes planes, so my drill should have onlye these points.

And this is what I get:

As you can see at the left part there are some holes that should even exist, and in the upper and right part a whole part of the board is missing. Does anyone have had this same problems?

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, The Excellon drill export in the new CAM processor seems to have a few issues at the moment. I know Autodesk are aware of these and are working on resolving them. Fortunately the original CAM processor is still available. If you load up the excellon.cam job this will run the legacy CAM processor to export your drills. This is the best solution at the moment until Autodesk resolve all the issues which have recently come to light. Best Regards, Rachael
