HI FRIENDS,
Can any one please tell me how to GENERATE DRILL CHART IN CADSTAR VERSION 9.0. and how to export DXF from the design file.
 

dxf.usr cadstar

To export to DXF do:
\File\Manufacturing Export\Artwork\
Then:
\Setup Device\ Select DXF.
Then:
\Setup\Select Device File\ Choose 'dxf.usr'
Then:
\DXF Header File\ Choose 'cadstr.dxf' Both of these files are in the Cadstr user directory.
Then select \Report\Start Processing.

To Generate a drill drawing do:
First choose colors so only the board outline is showing.
Then:

\File\Manufacturing Export\Drill Drawing\

Then do: \Options\ to set up Drill letters etc.

Then do: \Setup Device\ and select DXF.
select same Device and Header file as above.

Isn't Cadstar wonderful?
 

DRILL CHART IN CADSTAR

FOr drill chart procedure.

its not automated procedure on cadstar like u find in other tools.Generate the drill report as suggested by "btbass", copy and paste the drill hole section in drill drawing layer as a text..problem is anytime,if any change is thr in drill count/size,u have to again copy/paste.

Also if u r ready to spend money,u can go for starturn (third part tool).it generates the drill report automatically
