DirtyPCBs support / Re: How do I make a slot in my PCB?
Hi !

I just checked the files you point me and with ZofzPCB it works fine, I can see the holes. On the other hand, the web viewer doesn't show me any. I think I'll stick with ZofzPCB from now on... The web viewer doesn't seem to be able to find a outline file...
[attachment=1][attachment=0]

My gerbers with the four holes can't be loaded on ZofzPCB, I believe it's because of the complexity of the polygons. Eagle warned me about the size and the complexity of the files outputed...

I'm currently downloading KiCad in order to open the original files.

Hi ! Thanks for the answer.

I made oblong holes and tried different ways to make the hole but in the viewer (http://http://mayhewlabs.com/webGerber) it never appear like I want :[attachment=0] I don't know what to do... maybe it's just the viewer. I found this sentence on http://http://dirtypcbs.com/about.php

Multiple outlines: if you include multiple board outlines in your file, the industry standard dictates that the SMALLEST OUTLINE will be used.
Did you have any trouble with multiple lines in the dimension layer ?

Perhaps could you try to upload one of your design that got mouse bites or other type of hole in this viewer to see if it displays it correctly ?

I found a couple of examples that got what i want : http://http://dirtypcbs.com/view.php?share=965&accesskey=a8c82daad09b5323b82d373724b2ea4e and http://http://dirtypcbs.com/view.php?share=1348&accesskey=758f80ae6dea4fcb1cd7efce39c4a3dd

I also stumble upon some forum in which some people says a milling file should be made and send to the manufacturer, but I don't think i can do that with DirtyPCBs...

Hi !
I hope you don't mind if I ask my question here, given that it's very close to the original question...

I'm also trying to make a slot in a PCB on Eagle. I've tried to do as Sjaak said : a 0 mil line on the dimension layer...[attachment=3]

I used mayhewlabs(dot)com/webGerber to preview my gerber files but it only shows me a plain rectangle instead of a rectangular hole. [attachment=2] I also tried ZofzPCB with the same results.

I'm tring to make a rectangular hole to assemble PCBs together.[attachment=1] -> [attachment=0].

I'm gonna use DirtyPCB. Could you give me a hint to find the solution ? Is it because the holes are rectangular ones ?

Thanks,
