Hello all,
I spent a long time laying out a panelized design, and I did all the work in um (ug, hindsight). When i created the gerber files it converted everything to mm. However, my drill file (while being in metric) is still outputting in um, so the gerbers and drill file don't overlay.
I spent some time researching how to make this conversion and I can't seem to get it right. The tool sizes are 127 and 254 um diameter. and those coordinates seem to be in 000000. format, meaning the first hole is at X = 35,813um and Y = 258,768um
I posted an abridged version below, any suggestions on how to force the correct decimal place would be much appreciated!

it probably wont matter in the long run, pretty sure the circuit fab folks can figure this one out. But its mostly for my edification.
Thanks in advance,
Sami
