Bottom layer inverts Z-direction?? #2-layer #pcbgcode


 

Hi,

Thank you for this great plugin for Eagle :-) It works perfect in combination with my StepCraft CNC mill for pcb projects.

I have recently installed Eagle+pcbgcode on a new machine. Everything works just like on my older computer, but the etch file generated for the bottom layer, has inverted Z-axis direction..?
Meaning it drills holes upwards, and of course the drill breaks, as it makes the in-between movements downwards. The top layer etch are processed fine.

The workaround so far, is to invert the direction of all Z-axis movements. Meaning I flip the drill depth from 2 mm to -2 mm. The same for movements,, Z-up, spots ect.

My older version of Eagle+pcbgcode does not behave like this. The workaround is a bit annoying as I need to setup a lot of Z-parameters when generating two layer projects.

Has anybody experienced this issue? Can it be fixed? (Did I miss a setting for bottom layer?)

Best regards
