  • Hey Richard,

     

    I recently finished a board design and created gerber files with the holp of the Spark Fun Electronics sfe-special.cam file.  However, none of my milling specs. showed up on any of the output files (at least not the ones the board house requested in the upload).  Is it me?  Or is the sfe-special file not include milling slots? If not, do you know of a cam file that will include the milling specs. in the drill output (drd? file I think?).

    Hi,

     

    the CAM job does not contain a section that generates data about milling contours. Which layer did you use to draw the milling contours, is it 46, Milling?  Simply add a further section in the CAM job, select layer 46, use Gerber_RS274X device and select a file extension for the milling file, for example  .mil.

    Then run the job again. For details about howto create/modify CAM jobs, please take a look into our EAGLE manual (chapter 9).

     

    Regards,

    Richard

    Thanks Richard,

     

    I actually figured out how to make a separate job with the mill layer, but your suggstion to add a tab to the existing job (cam) file made it that much better.  Thanks again.
