LazyCam (Beta) / LazyCam interpretation of Apertures in Gerber (GBR) files
« on: January 10, 2008, 10:44:00 PM »
Hello all,
I'm trying to import a gerber file into lazycam that contains the location of various pads (or apertures in gerber terms). Regardless of their shape and size, lazycam interprets them as a circle of radius 5 mil. Does lazycam not recognize apertures in gerber files, or is this just a setup problem? I've set the tool diameter to smaller than the smallest pad/aperture dimension so this shouldn't be limiting the size of the cuts.
Has anyone had success converting apertures in gerber files into accurate shapes in lazycam?
EDIT:
I should clarify that my intention is to mill out the apertures as shapes and not 'flash' them.
Attached is the gerber file:
