You're welcome Fabio.
I am not sure yet because Mike Reagan hasn't replied to my post yet
but I believe that he may have been trying to warn you/me about a possible
problem when using the relative origins to generate drills and a gerber
drill dwg. I didn't understand exactly what he was getting at but I have to
assume he was trying to warn us about something he has experienced when
using relative origins.
I normally never use the relative origin. I prefer the absolute
origin so I have not seen anything similar to what Mike was describing. If
you use the absolute origin for both drills and gerber then I am quite sure
you are safe and they will align properly.
