gEDA-user: drill files from gerber output in HID version

2006-06-05 Thread James Cotton
I am using GTK-HID, I generated the gerber files with the export option. I tried sending the .fab.gbr and they said not in Excellon format. So then I sent the .cnc file and they said your NC drill file use tools which are not defined. Any hints? Thanks James

Awesome, # emerge pcb-cvs I'll let you know if they complain again :). I can't say how awesome the whole gschem suite is, and I much prefer PCB now it's gone GTK. I used to use Protel but I hated booting into VMWare. Thanks, James p.s. I attached the cvs gentoo ebuild I've been using, if

Hi list, When I do File-Export-gerber in pcb, it does not generate drill (CNC) files. Is it normal? How can I make pcb to generate drill files? PCB is from CVS. Levente -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: ha5ogl ICQ: 48710903 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!: kieg_tk16 Home Page:

AFAIK many pcb manufacturers want a .cnc file along with the gerber data. Are you sure it's no longer possible to generate these in current CVS? It *is* a CNC file. It's just *called* .gbr.
