Is there a way to export the coordinates of the holes?

I’m writing a small PC program that sends the locations of holes to drill to a CNC machine that I’m building. The problem is, I don’t know how to get the coordinates from Eagle to my program. I’ve been messing around with the CAM Processor, but haven’t been able to get the coordinates of the center of the pads.

Any ideas?

The Excellon drill file has all the coordinates. and the drill sizes.

Thanks, I think that will work great! The hole coordinates were wrong, but after adding an offset in Eagle I think they’re all correct now.

Thanks again!

Also note…the hole locations are calculated from your origin in Eagle.
