ViewMate defaults to 3.4 format. Before you "Import" the drill file, click on "Options" and change the Data Format. You want Left of decimal: 2, Right of decimal: 3 and select Omit leading zeros. Click on "OK" then click on "Import".timgray:
WHY is the drillfile scaled by 10?? or is there a bug in viewmate when importing the drillfile and it’s simply leading me to believe it is wrong?

I am a newbie and I am i trying to import my files into ViewMate. The Drill file works fine. However the other files do not. I believe their origin is not at (0,0). How would I set the origin in Eagle? How would I set the origin in ViewMate since this could also be the problem? Or does someone know another way I could have screwed up?
The manual got moved to: http://www.excellon.com/manuals/program.htm so the upper link is no longer valid
Hi,
Does anybody has a copy of http://www.excellon.com/applicationengi … rogram.htm ?
I would like to wrote a small program to convert excellon to gcodes and this would be very helpfull (the above page isn’t available).
thanks,
Daniel
I would just like to mention that if you submit a G-Code file to us - things most likely won’t work quite right.

Thanks for mentioning ! I was shure about that.
I’m desperately searching for that documentation because I’m building an small cnc and I want to convert those execellon files to gcode’s (the driving program doesn’t know excellon standard).
If somebody has saved the above link (http://www.excellon.com/manuals/program.htm) please send it to me too !
Regards,
Daniel

I get opposite results. I can import drd file just fine with 3.4 but NOT with 2.3. Also I do NOT supress any zeros:
Here is what it looks like when it works for me.
