R2,1000,Top,521.80mil,881.25mil,90,0805
and it shows it's csv
that's rejected.
probably the letters in the numerical columns

Jasen, I don't follow. ?
Try "521.80" instead of "521.80mil"
Yes... a numerical column should only have numerics in
it. Put the UOM (Units of Measure) at the top of the
column or use a lege
nd
Post by Rick Cto define the columns.

"Hi there,
Thank you for your email.
After checked that the format is not like the one of our sample file .
So our system can not detect it easily .
Hope you can understand it .
Attached is the CPL sample file for your reference.
Would you like to take a look and follow our sample file to
make your C
PL file??
Post by Rick Cin this way,our system can detect your file successfully.
Thank you ."
Haven't tried it yet but it has to be EXACTLY like their sample file?
Designator X Y Layer Rotation
it has just those 5 in that order.
this whole process is crazy.
I guess you have to adjust the cpl file for each pcb house?
! You would think the software could see the file (like
mine above) and m
odify it.
Post by Rick CWhat is crazy about them specifying the file format and you
not following
it??? Oh, I know... the part about you not following it!!
Post by Rick CWhat is wrong with just giving them what they ask for???
YES, you have to provide what each fab house wants. If you go
with a US f
ab house that charges twice as much they will probably work
with what you give them. That's one of the reasons they charge
more. To provide rock bottom prices the cheap places have to
automate the design input and you have to accommodate them.
Post by Rick CThis is all simple and obvious if you give it a bit of
thought.

Well, live and learn right? This is my first assy order. I was
dreading having to rewrite the file(s) that my software
outputs. I could write some python code that would easily
reconfigure the file for what they want you would think they
may have dome that themselves. I mean what does it take to
identify "R1" and "X" or "Y" etc.?
Just sort of assumed it would be a smoother process without bumps in the road.
Life is one big, long, bumpy road. That's why I ride motocross!
