The .drd file output by Eagle won’t open in viewmate. It looks like this:

I’m just trying to drag and drop it into viewmate. The real problem is that my board dimensions come out wrong and I believe it has to do with my drill file not opening in viewmate. I’ve tried to make my dimensions with a keepout, silk, and dimension layer, but they always come out .05" wider than expected. The height comes out perfectly though.

I like GC-Prevue. You could try that (there is a free version).

Okay, I imported the drill file, but the (x,y) coordinates are really screwed up. They are way too large.

PCB software sometimes scales drill files, or uses a different origin for them. Your PCB supplier should be able to sort it out. It’s probably something to do with your Eagle settings. I don’t use it so I can’t help you.

Solved the problem. Added a decimal point in front of the coordinates and that solved it. Thanks for the help.
