The drill table and plot report give the same width but this differed from the Tool specification in the Drill file. After a chat with Peter in Support, we established that the setting (value) in Plotting & Printing=> Options=>NC Drill,=>Minimum Routing Tool Size was overwriting the slot width in the slotted pad definition. This occurs without EPC giving any warning whatsoever. I always had the impression that "ROUTING" refers to the pcb profile whilst I've always referred to the slot widths INSIDE the pcb profile as "MILLING". I realise that similar mechanical process is used for both processes, but I thought that this setting was just to ensure that the pcb profile wasn't routed with a very small tool size. I hope this posting might serve as a warning to others using slotted pads. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
