Hello all,

I'm having some issue with importing an Excellon drill file, generated from Eagle using the stock 'excellon.cam' job, into Percival, the PCB module available for Galaad.

Hello Andrew,
I had a similar problem with a DFX inport of a Cap Sense touch-pad to my PCB setup.
The cure?
The inhouse gerber was in inches & me using Metric mm. On correcting the PCB package export, everything worked just fine.

I'm not saying that this will cure your problem, but is worth checking...(Rember the British Mars Rover? A Million Pound Rover destroyed because of the "inches vs mm" disparity)

Hope you sort the problem,
Chester
