Eagle 7.6 and Excellon CAM

matt_compton@trimble.com
matt_compton@trimble.com over 9 years ago

I just upgraded to the 7.6 release and when I tried to generate my standard drill files by running CAM job => excellon.cam I get the following error message on my 4 layer board

 

"CAM job doesn't cover the Layer Setup! - MIssing signal layers 1 2 15 16"

 

A quick look at the DRC indicates the layers are setup correctly and in fact, I had a prior successful autoroute. When I try to manually add the layers, it then complains that more than 1 signal layer is active. It does seem to generate the files and they seem reasonable to a quick scan but errors are indicated in the flow

 

When I retreat to Eagle 7.5 the same excellon.cam job works without issue and no errors are generated. Both the Eagle 7.5 and 7.6 installations are on MacOS. Is there a new trick that I need to be aware of to make standard CAM work on 7.6 without error ? The gerber generation went without incident, but the CAM failure for the drill file generation which has worked pretty much forever is  a bit annoying.

    Well I'm going to bump this thread again because I just got this error with 7.7.0 Ultimate.

    Sorry to rebump this thread but ran into this error 8/18/2016. Is there a workaround or fix for this yet? It's my first time using eagle. Or are users reverting back to 7.5 versions to generate excellon drill data?

    Hello,

     

    Have you tried the latest 7.6.2 beta to see if this resolves the error for

    you? I've just tried it and it seems to work fine for me.

     

    Best Regards,

     

    Rachael

    Hi Herbert,

     

    I can confirm that the extraneous warning has been removed in the latest

    beta.

    Yes,

     

    There is at least 1 user who reverted to previous version, 7.4 to be exact
