GC-Prevue and EagleCAD

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 17 years ago

Hello,

 

When I generate RS274X and Excellon files for my project I import into

GC-Preview to double check the gerbers.  I get a weird error about "WARNING:

Zeror and/or negative dimension tools detected in the floowing tool tables:"

and 2 of the gerber files are listed (my .pls and .plc files).

 

I can open the aperture list and I see a 0.0 dimension 1 value for one of

the entries.  Any idea why, or how to track this down and fix it?  I

shouldn't be having zero dimension apertures generated, should I?

 

Thanks,

 

Doug

    have requested several times to either remove these implicit objects

    from the dimension layer, or make its width adjustable, but this has not

    been fixed for many years now.

    Being precise: nobody remembers except you. No offense. See "Newsgroup

    limitations" in eagle.suggest.eng. I have thought about this every so often,

    but your statement here and another one elsewhere gave me reason to write a

    bit more about it... though I am sure nobody remembers it in a week. For the

    same reason.

    Tilmann,

     

    That's a great suggestion.  I think I will follow your practice and

    utilize the milling layer for the actual board outline.

     

    Thanks a million,

     

    Doug
