seeedstudio + eagle, holes

(1/1)

fabiodl:
Hello,
I am using eagle 7.6.0  and run Seeedstudio's cam processor job available here:
http://www.seeedstudio.com/document/rar/Seeed_Gerber_Generater_2-layer.zip

when opening the generated files with gerbv, all layers appear as expected, except for the holes, which appear to use a different (bigger) scale.

According to seeedstudio (see http://support.seeedstudio.com/knowledgebase/articles/422482-fusion-pcb-pcba-order-submission-guidelines)
"Gerber file must be the RS-274x format.  Drill file(pcb name.TXT) must be Excellon format."

Do you know if it's an eagle version problem / a gebv bug or if I am doing something wrong in the process?

Kean:
This is actually GerbV not correctly detecting the number of decimal places in the Excellon file.  So drill data is scaled up by a factor of 10.

TO fix this in GerbV, right click your drill file in the layer list, choose "Edit file format", and then turn off "Autodetect" and increase digits from 4 to 5.

Thank you, indeed 5 digits, inches did the trick!
btw, great avatar pic ;)
