Re: gEDA-user: Drill file zero suppression

A quick sanity check with users: I've got some Gerbers and a drill file
to review. The drill file (*.drl), however, is not drawn to the same
origin as the other layers. Also, there are leading zeros on some of
the hole locations, e.g.
T12C.145F035S9
X-01Y-01
X-01Y01
X01Y01
X01Y-01
which should be holes located at [+/-1.000",+/-1.000"]. I talked to one
board house, but the conversation had so many double negatives
I haven't used PADS since ?? can't remember -- all you need to do is a
self consistency check and send that to the board fabber,
and get someone on the phone who can give you
a straight answer. If you are dealing by emails alone, it all needs to be written
and demanded to be read. I'd generate something that will give you a consistency
check in mils or tenths of millimeters and inches or centimeters
on the same board, and run that by them.
The origin being different has to be approved by them. Is it different because
it is panelized? If it isn't all as clear and obvious as can be it will fail.
If the origins are different, some writing to explain why needs to go with the order.
