Drill File Problems

autodeskguest

My board house requires drill file to output to 3 decimal places. My Cam

processor and stuff is defaulting to 4 decimal places. I tried changing the

Excellon section of my eagle.def and added the line Decimals = 3, but to no

avail. It still outputs to 4 Decimals. Any Ideas?

    I suppose they want to have a resolution of 1/1000 inch instead

    of 1/10.000 inch.

     

    In this case you could the following section:

     

     

     

     

    Type     = DrillStation

    Long     = "Excellon drill station"

    Init     = "%%\nM48\nM72\n"

    Reset    = "M30\n"

    ResX     = 1000

    ResY     = 1000

    ;Rack     = ""

    DrillSize  = "%sC%0.3f\n"        ; (Tool code, tool size)

    AutoDrill  = "T%02d"             ; (Tool number)

    FirstDrill = 1

    BeginData  = "%%\n"

    Units    = Inch

    Select   = "%s\n"                ; (Drill code)

    Drill    = "X%1.0fY%1.0f\n"      ; (x, y)

    Info     = "Drill File Info:\n"\

                "\n"\

                " Data Mode         : Absolute\n"\

                " Units             : 1/1000 Inch\n"\

                "\n"

     

     

    This should work for them.
