Can we put this to rest? If eagle wants to play persnickity, there ARE other fish in the pond that can do the job, I just have to learn how to use them. And I am making progress, I finally convinced gEDA/pcb to spot drill the 15 holes for the 6 parts and 3 outside world connections. Now its up to me to get rid of about 8.5" between the machines home Z position, rotate the generated pattern 90 degrees to "stand it on end" and then step & repeat to make 6 of them per pass on my mill. I already invented that wheel tonight, but didn't discover the code was defective until I had wasted 2.5" off the end of a sheet of 2oz copper clad, double-sided fiberglass material. NBD, I have more, as long as each iteration is better than the last. A nice sharp carbide blade on my table saw gets rid of the mistakes. ;-) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
