Which gerber file for drill using Voltera CAM file

[RoySalisbury]

Using the CAM file for Eagle that Voltera supplies, which file should I be selecting for the drill holes? There are two outputs...

1) DRILL FILE - *.TXT
2) HOLES - *.NON-PLATED.TXT

I'm using the drill file, but whats the other for? And why would it be part of the CAM processing file specific for Voltera?

Hey @RoySalisbury,

The Non-plated.txt file is as the name describes - holes that are in your design but not plated, which would typically be mounting holes. The *.txt file is the one you want for vias and through-holes.

The Voltera CAM processing file generates a few gerber files that the V-One won't need, like the silk and outline files - these are generally useful if you need to look at your design stack up for any reason in a gerber viewer. The *.non-plated.txt file falls into this category, and shouldn't be used in the V-One software.

Thanks. Looks like I was using the correct one. I just kept getting the probe falling in the holes so thought I might be using the wrong one.
