I'm using an Eagle file that was exporting successfully in previous versions and a CAM job file that I've used for years. This problem seems to have started with the upgrade to v7.

The pic below shows what I'm seeing in the Gerber Viewer. You can see the actual board in the bottom right hand corner but something has added all these extra drill files outside the board area! Thank you very much for your valuable comment. I have examined your comment and the procedure I did for a while Your hint saves my one day job, or I had to install and learn another CAD and do my design entirely again with it.

Thanks again. Im using Eagle 8. I tried to generated by the way mention early but when I try this option, the option to change device disappear.

I'd personally recommend you open your design in 8. There are several issues with Excellon generation in the new CAM processor if you have a board with more than just standard through vias so I just use 8. Notice: updates available for Apache Log4j vulnerabilities. See the security advisory on the Autodesk Trust Center for more information.

Turn on suggestions. Z Axis lets you set some standardized milling depths. Z High sets the safe height for the mill to move around without running into anything like your clamps. Z Up is the safe height for movements from one cut to the next. I set this to 0. Z Down sets the cutting depth for the trace isolation. This should be set to go just bellow the copper layer.

I use Drill Depth should be set to about 0. So if your carrier board is 0. Drill Dwell tells the machine how long it should wait before pulling the drill bit back out of a newly drilled hole.

About 1 second is good to get a cleanly drilled hole. Spindle is used to set the time it takes for the spindle to get to full speed once it is turned on.

Units tells the software what unit of measurement you want to use for everything. I left it on Inches, but you can use whatever you like best so long as you remember the difference between 0.

This is very important to prevent your bits from braking and getting clean cuts. I have found that it is better to start these settings low if you are not sure what works best, then increase the speed if necessary.

The Shapeoko 2 does not handle the stress of high feed rates that well so the following settings should work for any other CNC mill. Etch settings are used for the trace isolation outlines. You may remember that I do not recommend using the Milling option unless you have no other way to cut your final PCB down to size. If you need to use this option, go very slow because it will put a lot of stress on your end mill. Though I have not used it, this would probably work well with the same settings as Etch.

Click the Clearance tab. To ensure that all of your traces get isolated, change all of the values to the diameter of your milling bit. For example; I use an engraving bit that cuts at about 0. See Figure 4 Now click the Apply button. Click the Check button to look of DRC errors. If you have any errors, they will show in the DRC window. Double click an error from the list to show you where it occurs in your design.

PCB with Bottom wires. When done, click Accept and make my board. A preview of the trace outline will display. Type the letter C to see the outlines more clearly. Inspect the preview to be sure that everything looks good. Note: if there are gaps between your outlines, try adding a box to define the outside edges of your PDB. Type the letter Q to close the window.

Click the OK button on the popup window to see the next preview. We will go over this again in a tutorial about setting your CNC Mill up and running the code.
