mike,
reset origin for everything except pik and place
even if you don't for pp they can usually deal with it
i hate when fab shops call too, it makes us look bad, consumes time and
opens the door to yet more problems
what do you mean exactly when you say 'drill chart' ?
.drr ? or drill symbols on a drill 'drawing'
the drill symbols (table of special strings) in the drill dwg are
definitely screwed in SP6 (new to SP6), but IMHO that doesn't matter
because i think a drill drawing these days is extra baggage anyway, we
don't do them anymore, just makes more work
i was not aware that that problem would omit something, but considering
they are wrong anyway (compared to the .drr) this is no big surprise
