Hello. In V4.x.x gerbview showed the drill size maps in the NPTH and PTH windows as a legend below the board.
Now the drill sizes in V5.0.2,are not shown, however when I load an earlier PCB created in V4.x.x the drill map is there.
It appears that the plot file generated by V5.0.2 does not include the
xxxPTH-drl-map.gbr or xxx-NPTH-drl_map.gbr.
It does generate a xxx-PTH-drl_map.ps and xxx-NPTH-drl_map.ps which load but are not visible in Gerbview.
Is this by design or have I missed a setting in pcbNew?
It was particularly useful for adding to a drawing pack for final drawings as a dxf.
I think the question here is about the table shown in the first screenshot not about the drill position markers.
I do not remember such a table being automatically generated even in v4 so the original gerber might be either generated with a different tool or it might have gotten manual rework. (Or there is a setting that generates such a table and i am not aware of it. The official docu might be a good start too look at.)
I doubt this has anything to do with the gerber viewer but with how the gerberrs are generated in the first place.
Hi @pedro, Yes they are drl files but these are excellon drill data files.That seems to give details of the D codes only. The thing I was missing is the drill map files that were being exported as drl-map.ps files (exactly what the program was being told to do) as the drill generation platform was set to postscript!
Setting it for gerber format has nearly restored my sanity.
I have been caught like this before after exporting .dxf files and then not being able to view the map files in GerbView after re-doing hole files.
Basically I only use the file to check the holes are the correct size.
