Milling layer #pcbgcode


 

hello to group
I have searched the message data base but can't figure out an answer.

I draw a square using green layer 46,? EAGLE 7.3
I run pcbgcode 3.6.2.4 with milling box checked
I get nothing on the top or bottom milling screens.

simple fix? any help much appreciated

Just taking a guess at this one.? I assume your talking about the 'square' not showing up on your board?

By chance do you have that layer turned off.? As shown in the pic below, (I'm still using V6.2 but should be simular), click on the layer display icon as shown by the left arrow to show all the layers and then scroll down to layer 46 as shown by the right arrow and make sure the layer box is colored in as shown and not with a white background as shown by layer 47.
Emacs!

Hi Richard,


Going to ask the obvious questions - sorry!!


You have set a milling depth on the opening setup page?


Check on the machine setup that you have milling parameters set up there as well (XY feed. Spindle rpm etc)?


I happened to still have Rev 7.7.0 still available, so tried a milling outline on an old completed project - no problems there.


One further thought, you have a dimensioned board outline and some component on the schematic and board layout - I don't know what would happen if these are omitted.


I now use Rev 9.6.0 - never had a problem with this - and it has many more magic features!!


Regards


Peter
