Import Drill file from Eagle

[Mr.Green]

Hi all,
I tried to import a GCode File that has been generated from Eagle (PCB Layout Program) and contains drill holes.
When I convert the imported file into geometry, Cambam makes Polylines out of the drill holes (instead of Points).
I then chose the Drill OP and tried to generatre the GCode file, but the resulting file is pretty empty.


Or maybe other way round: Does anybody know how to export GCode directly from Eagle? I have been using pcb-gcode, but this has some ugly issues when generating milling.

If you use canned cycles for drilling operations, converting to geometry will generate a point list.

However, for your file you can still use Toolpath to Geometry to generate a bunch of polylines (they are vertical  so don't show up in the drawing until you rotate the view).

If you select all these polylines (CTRL+A) you can then do Draw - Point List - Centers.
The resulting points can then be used to generate a drilling operation.

I hope this helps.
