Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Any Galaad/Percival Users?

Hi ,
I also use Eagle, excellon drill files with Galaad copper cam.
Usually the error you have is a mm to inch conversion problem. Make sure your setting are consistent mm or inch.
Also Galaad softwere wants to see trailing zero's in the settings menu with Excellon drill files. 

I hope this is some help. 
much respect,

Hello all,


I'm having some issue with importing an Excellon drill file, generated from Eagle using the stock 'excellon.cam' job, into Percival, the PCB module available for Galaad.


This is a render of where my drills should be, shown with a pad view in Eagle;

And this is what happens to the drills once they are imported into Percival;

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't think that's right?


Has anybody got experience with this workflow and can anyobdy shed any light onto what's happening?


Regards
