CAM job getting corrupted

autodeskguest

Hi All,

 

I am having some problems saving my own CAM jobs.

 

I have started using BatchPCB, so I decided to set up a CAM job that spits

out all the files they need in the right format.

 

I loaded the default Excellon.com job, made notes.

 

I then loaded the gerb274x.com job, then immediately saved it as

batchpcb-2-layer.cam.

 

I made all the changes, added the excellon section. I then went around teh

loop of running the job, making tweeks, saving, rerunning and so on.

 

I verified my gerbers, they are all perfect, so i saved the job, then quit

the CAMprocessor.

 

I then went back to the CAM processor because I'd made a tweek, tried toload

the job as was told :

 

c:\Program Files\Eagle-5.6.0/cam/BatchPCB-2-layer.cam(3): Syntax Error!

 

Not very helpful.

 

SO i went around the loop, repeated all the of the above, made another cam

job, then tried to reload it and got the same thing.

 

I attach my camfile and the originals i used to create it.

 

Can anyone suggest where I might be going wrong? (The error message

certainly doesnt)

 

Thanks

Chris

    Hi Chris,

     

    It has something to do with your header/description.  When you copy the

    original back into your revised .cam job, it works.  I haven't taken the

    time to see exactly what the issue is, but that is a starting point!
