That's the only problem with Eagle - it's non industry standard, most manufactures should be able to do everything except actually "drill" the boards if it has been designed in Eagle. I use variant of Protel for most of my designs, but I tend to do things in (metric)

I have found very few manufacturers who accept Eagle format. You have to convert them using the Gerber274 program in the CAM section. There is also an Excellon subroutine for the drill information. I have a guy in Utah who does my double sided boards, and we worked through the sequences. One wierd quirk with Eagle though...One of the files gets overwritten when doing multiple board layers. You need to do one layer, save it to a separate file, then do the next,or rename the files with top, bottom, etc. I would switch PCB programs, but I have more custom footprints than a Sasquatch fan club!

Hi,Ron

Yes,you are right.at present,most manufacturers like our company prefer the rs274x
format to build the pcb.The reason is the rs274x is easy to read and no risk.Hence,
if you have any pcb to make,we prefer you can change the format into rs274x so
as for us to read easily.
