Hi @RitchieFromParis,

I hope you're doing well. In the new version of EAGLE you can still use your legacy CAM job, the key point is to not convert the legacy CAM job to the new CAM processor. When you open your CAM job just run it as is.

With that said the CAM processor in EAGLE 9 can still do this. Open the CAM processor and then click on the word Drill on the left top. That is the configuration for the drill section and you can set it to 2 4, also make sure to change the units to inches otherwise the numbers are going to be off.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hi Jorge

Thanks again for your precious help.

I know I can use the legacy cam but it's very very very very long and I have the color wheel during the job.

I didn't find the possibility to make EXCELLON_24 device with EAGLE 9, if you are a tutorial or something else it will be welcome's for me.

Best and thanks again.

Ritchie

Hi @RitchieFromParis,

I hope you're doing well. See the attached imagePay special attention to units and the Format Specifier

This is all the setup you have to do to get an equivalent Excellon file.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hi Jorge and thanks for your reply I appreciate.

In fact, my question is how can do a "DEVICE" ECELLON_24 because I don't have choice in the pict you sent me.

See the old CAM output file with EXCELLON_24 I have.

Best and sorry for disturbing.

Hi @RitchieFromParis,

No worries, in the new CAM processor you can't edit the old CAM jobs. Those have to be run as is. The picture I gave in my last post was to achieve the same result using the new CAM processor.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hi Jorge, thanks your reply...

I note that, I think I will use a old version of EAGLE.

Do you have a ftp link for download a old version ?

Many thanks to you Jorge.
