Dennis,
I agree, I have not seen this problem until the release of SP6 and started
checking the box for relative origin, at which point I changed my process
for generating gerbers. I guess what I meant to say was The number
of holes ....hole count has been inaccurate in the drill legend (.LEGEND,
special string, on the gerber drill drawing) vs the drill data generated
in the txt and acsii files. These discrepancies only show when the
"relative" origins are set in both the workspace and cam output setup.
I have had no discrepancies when resetting origins of the design and then
checking the absolute origin for the gerbers. It was always worked flawless
using the latter method, unless someone has observed otherwise.
I hope this clarifies what I am trying to say......good to hear from you
again
