Panel Setup - Tooling Holes
3 CommentsSorted by Oldest First
This don't work in my version of the FAB3000 software.
The holes are not in the panel after finish them.
Version 8.3.58
I have FAB3000 version 8.4.1 and tooling holes dont work on this version as well. I would gladly pay to upgrade if it works on the newest version because I really need tooling holes to do 4 layer pcb alignments.
FAB versions 8.3/8.4 (listed above) were released 3 years ago in 2022. Any tooling hole issues will be resolved by upgrading. If problems persist, please submit a support ticket and include any sample workspace file (*.wrk) with the Panel you're trying to create and we'll be happy to assist. https://support.numericalinnovations.com/support/tickets/new

Add NC Tooling Holes and then enter Width, Height, Coordinates, and Rotation.
Available Tooling Hole Shapes:
Drill - A circular hole (not plated)
Slot - A drilled slot .
Width:
The width to use for the tooling hole.
Height (for Slots only):
The height to use for the tooling hole.
Center Point X, Y :
Assign the center point for the tooling hole.
Relative X,Y Coordinates are supported:
You may use Relative X,Y Coordinates requires the at-sign @ (See below for examples)
X = @-1 Y = @0.25 would result in -1 (from Panel Right) and 0.25 (from Panel Bottom)
X = @0.5 Y = @-0.75 would result in 0.5 (from Panel Left) and -0.75 (from Panel Top)
Rotate (for Slots only):
Assign the rotation (in degrees) for the slot. Default is 0.0.
Clearance:
Add a clearance around the tooling hole. Set 0 for no clearance.
