I just spent a morning trying to resolve why my Drill Drawing Gerber plot was showing a whole bunch of holes as size 0 mil (99SE-SP6).
It seems that since there are only 16 symbols defined for the drill drawing, once you have more than 16 different drill sizes the CAM Drill drawing lumps drill sizes together and assigns a hole size of 0 mil. Apparently the NC drill file does contain the correct information. It is a Knowledge Base Item (# 1472), however when something like this sneaks up on you it is very disconcerting, as I was assuming lots of possibilities from corrupted design files to invalid design rules. I guess I would have preferred some indication that a limit had been reached and the system was compensating, rather than just arbitrarily assigning several different holes to 0 mil. Just a reminder to any of you who might see something funny in your Drill Drawing regarding hole sizes... David W.
