hi,

I am using Allegro 15.7. I have generated NC drill /Route and artwork .
but the problem is when i view them in CAM tool there scaling is not right all layers except NC drill/rout are of same scale.when i generate them in different units i.e. art wok in mm/mils and NC Drill/route in mils/mm than they match.

kindly help


Thanks & Regards,

Poojan

    Hi
    Make sure in your NC_Param.txt and art_param.txt that the Format's match.
    If your Artwork paramters are at 3 integers 5 decimals. Make sure your NC Drill
    paramters match.
    Also make sure you have enough decimal places of accuracy for your artworks.
    You do not want a round off causing problems switching from mms to mils.

    Cadence recommends designing data at or below the accuracy level the fabrication vendor supports:
    Design
    Units Integer Places Decimal Places
    MILS 0 2 .3
    MILS 1 2 .4
    MILS 2 2 .4
    MILS 3 2 .6 not available
    MILS 4 2 .7 not available
    INCH 2 2 .2
    INCH 3 2 .2
