I have that download and tried it on my files. It did not seem to
work correctly with the file out of Camtastic. Since there are
numerous settings for export it may be just that I had things set
wrong. I finally found that importing the Gerber file into Camtastic
then converting to an Excellon drill file in 274 format with 2.3
precision then run through the DOS conversion program free on the
Kellyware site, gave me a GCode file that needed minimal cleanup.
The direct import of the Excellon file into KAM3 (Kellyware) gave
some really funky results. You have to decide if you need leading,
trailing or no zero suppression along with a other parameters. I
spent Hours/days trying possible combinations. Thanks for the
feedback.
