I made gerbers from WinQCad. Simple pcb software and much easier to use than Eagle, but I'm finding out if it is good for my uses. I cannot import a decent drill file and have no solder file. The gerber looks good, proper size and all that. the drill file makes 'hole's that are huge, 3 to 4 times the board size. needless to say, it says the drill file is out of bounds. If this should be off list, e-mail me at dave_mucha at yahoo.com Dave > --- In , "Dave Mucha" <davemucha@j...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I am trying to set up a T-Tech PCB router and am haveing a little > bit > > of a problem importing files. > > > > Is anybody out there familiar with these unit and might be able to > > offer some advise ? > > > > Dave |

Yes, sure 1 mil = 0.001 inchs 1 mil = 0.00254 cms |

I did find that it was stipping the zeros on the coordinates so 00.0400 drills came out to 40.0 inches. just a little bit of a difference. Dave |

You might test your Gerber files at www.freedfm.com. You upload the Gerbers and drill files and a few minutes later they send an e-mail back notifying you if there are problems with the files. In the worst case (when I had a layer mirrored in Eagle), they actually called to help me figure out what the problem was. This way you'd know if the fies were ok to start with.
