I don't know what you are using for PCB software, but I have done this using diptrace and vcarve. It works best to use a ground plane with spokes to all pads, then you export using the dxf offset feature, and run those lines right on top. On Tue, Apr 26, 2016 at 1:04 AM, Nicklas Karlsson <

If you have proper EXCELLON drillfile format cut and paste that code in left column, after that see to it that you have correct input parameters for the EXCELLON file and then GENERATE G-CODE. There are NO C chars in the generated G-code /Bengt Den 2016-04-25 kl. 20:11, skrev Nicklas
