I try to import a drill file created with Zuken Cadstar software. I usually send this file to PCB producer withou any problem. Your software doesn't import the file. Can you chek it ?
It seems that this results from blanks in the drill file. The standard CADSTAR (version 18 for me) drill file definition contains the line "SPACES 1" which results in drill files with blanks between the coordinates like that:
T4X-0887150Y0459500X-0830000Y0427700
This seems to be misinterpreted by gerbv. A workaround would be to set the CADSTAR definition to "SPACES 0", however this may not be easy to do in a company with shared drill file definitions. I would prefer that gerbv can accept the spaces. However, I lack the programming skills to do a patch for this.
In the CADSTAR drill file definition there is unfortunately no way to add a header to mark if the drill file is metric or imperial, so the format has to be changed in gerbv manually since there is other no hint to guess on. (the "HEADER" line places the header after the tool table which is odd)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
File format parameters autodetection failed. You can manually change parameters for layer, as in attachment.
I also see holes placed incorrectly.
The gerbers that do this are attached here
The "correct" rendering using another tool is attached
