Problems exporting drills in eagle 8.7.0

josetomas

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. image

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?

    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 , 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):


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

    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.

    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.
