@redd103: "I just run the Cam on a board in Eagle 5.2. Then passed it on to the board
house (speedypcb) They said the file didn't have the drill sizes listed. I
opened the file up and really didn't see any T numbers ( btw I have a
background in CNC machining, programming and CADCAM ). So ran the Cam again.
This time I saw the T numbers with sizes listed and the X Y  moves. But the
board house didn't tike the output code they ran on a viewer program they
had. . Not knowing what a excellon file code should really look like, Am I
doing something wrong? Or is the board house having problems? There seemed
to be 2 ways to acess the CAM menu ( which appends the  output device on its
own in the device window), 1 in the Control panel and the other in the board
editor( which you have to choose which device post processor you want). Yes
I read the manual and the tutorial and the online help.

What did they not like about your drill file?  Was the scaling wrong, did it 
not match up with the other files?
Without knowing what your CAM setup it is difficult to say where the problem 
lies, similarly we'd also need to know what files and format the board house 
likes to use.
I highly recommend that you get a Gerber viewer such as GC-Prevue, and check 
the files yourself.  It is always good to do this before sending them off to 
whatever board house you use. The simple Gerber viewers are normally free.

    @philip: "Hi Redd,
<quote>
You need to run the Excellon CAM separately and also provide its output along 
with the Gerber files from the Gerber RS274X CAM.
Regards viewing in a Gerber viewer such as GC-Prevue, note that EAGLE now has a 
2.4 precision format and many Gerber viewers default to a 2.3 format so the 
scaling of the drills/holes is off. Just import in 2.4 precision for the 
drills/holes and all should be well.
Regards, Philip.
