There is placed,routing,via grids in most decent s/w
I usually place comps on a 25 mil grid (sometime down to 5 mil for really tight smt) because I make my component placement outlines on a 25 mil grid.
I route and place vias on a 1 mil grid.
Why? because it makes routing so much easier. let the DRC rules (spacings) dictate how close copper objects can placed, not the grid.
Only for testpoint rules do you want to set certain vias/tps to say a ind std 50/100 mil grid, but that is a special case.
I confirm this issue as well, a offset is being added on one of the two layers, no it got mirrored!! more settings issues it seems
Sprint 5 says it's good. Is 5 $hit ?
If I had real internet , I would have torrent. If I had torrent ,
full versions of every software out there would be mine.
I scored sprint 5 in albany , NY. Arggggg !
Larger devices look nicer on a 50 or 100 mil grid. SMD is pretty much useless at that grid size though.
There's something odd with the files. I used to use Ivex from last century and it's files are still okay so I doubt the problem is with Sprint 5.
I sent a copy of 6 on a cd to you last fall. Did it make it? It was in with a bunch of parts.
Skip the Torrents and hook up with a news server. No viruses that way and much more reliable downloads.
I think PCBWay is about the bottom of the barrel for cheap board houses. If there's no pad around the hole they assume it's not plated through and leave it empty. No separate file needed.
Yes , I have 2 sprint 6's , even one that is legit. Both crash on my win7-64. No other
prog does it. But my win 7 is old (not kosher).
But , hundreds of other programs don't have problems .... confused.😕

Okay most the stuff is fixed but I see that there is a drc error for the hole that is just above D102!! Spacing violation to trace on bottomside
There is no sm at all, so there is no clearance for the npth's.
getting closer 🙂

That hole looks fine in Sprint 6. It's just a through hole. No plate through. That trace is on the topside of the board. The 1206 pads are on the bottom.

Sprint 6 runs better for me on Win7-64 than it does on Win7-16. No compatibility mode needed.
Also the 0,0 orientation shows the data is in the wrong quadrant, since the "y" dimension data is all neg numbers relative to the datum point.
Where is the fab drawing?,
I see you have a text file but usually one has a fab drawing to show drill hit locations and drill tolerances etc.

I have my SL6 working on Windows 7 SP1 64bits and I have no problem at all 😕 I have been used a lot this past few years 🙂 maybe has to do something about ram ? I have 8G of ram
video card perhaps ? ...
you guys think it might be the origin has to be place right into one of the corners of the PCB to have correct X,Y coordinates ?
when I open a new project and decide to add PCB size outline always I notice that "origin" is in one of the corners of the PCB outlines

problem with that "protect" jumper, below q110, on the right side of the pcb. Looks as if you have two vias sitting inside the pads for the header?
You definitely deal with much more upscale board houses than most of us do.😀 Every one I've checked out only want basic Gerbers and a single drill file. If you give them too much information you are begging them to screw things up. The KISS theory works best when dealing with China due to the language barrier.
I think we've picked this board apart pretty thoroughly!😀 The only issue I see is the silk is on the wrong side of the board for the jumpers.
Yes I agree, follow their rules and everything usually goes okay. And do not throw anything tricky in there like a separate npth drill file. For the cheapo guys I always use one drill file and assume/spec that every hole gets plated, with or without an annular ring 🙂
That file you sent will fail drc I can almost bet on it, will they fix/fab anyways? let me know how it goes 🙂

Yes , I'll try that. I got the crash with JK's unifed sprint 6 artwork .
Any of my ported 5 work (in 6) would save and not crash .
JW - BTW , this is my internet (below) ... just a few ports. No newsgroup for me.
Internet in America sucks (3'rd world performance - top dollar price).
Also , I'm about 1/4 mb speed now ... omg !
