aligndrill

Hi, What process do I run on aligndrill to be able to mill a -multidepth, below is a sample.

set_sys units MM
open_gerber C:/Temp/TestBoard_v2/TestBoard_v2.outline -outname Top_Outline
aligndrill Top_Outline -dia 3.0 -box Top_Outline -grid 1 -gridoffset 0 -minoffset 5 -axisoffset 5 -axis Y

ERROR: Expected FlatCAMGeometry, got Top_outline_aligndrill <class 'FlatCAMObj.FlatCAMExcellon'>.

Thanks

You were trying to use a TclCommand that generate Gcode from a geometry (cncjob) to generate GCode from an Excellon object.
Instead you should have used the drillcncjob which generate geometry from Excellon objects.

If you want to mill drills then first run the milldrills TclCommand which will generate a geometry and then on the resulting Geometry you can run cncjob TclCommand.

Many Thanks for the info

Confusion between cncjob and drilcncjob Tcl Commands.
