Misplaced hole in CAM Processor Image preview

mike.durian — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:58:18 GMT

I have the CAM processor configured to generate PDF images of both the top and bottom of the board. My board has one non-plated through-hole for a mounting screw. It appears correctly in the top view image, but not in the bottom view. The hole outline is in the correct location, but the drill marking is offset. At least in the preview.

The actual PDF containing the two views show the top correctly and while it does not show a misplaced marking in the bottom, it doesn't show any drill symbol at all (no circle with a bar through it). Perhaps it is only supposed to show up in the top view?

Not a huge problem, but I thought I'd mention it.

Hi @mike.durian ,

I hope you're doing well. It seems odd to me that the bottom board is rotated by 90 degrees. I wonder if that has something to do with the drill marker being off center. Could you double check if you have any of the rotation settings active in that particular section?

Would you be willing to share the files for review?

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

Best Regards,

Hi @jorge_garcia ,

I hope you're doing well. Yes, I do have mirror output horizontally option selected. It seems more intuitive to me. With it selected, the image will match what you see when looking at a physical board.

Yes, I can share these files.
