[PCB_FORUM] Re: Post MFG Gerber Panelization. More. Mirrored Drill???

Yes, I am responding to my own message.  

I have looked at a couple cam tools and the big issue seems to be drill data.  
Allegro can output the mirrored gerber that I can use to build an AB panel**, 
but how to get mirrored drill data.  I use lots of blind and buried vias, so 
the drill data must reflect the proper layer structure of the mirrored gerber.  

** AB panel is one that has unmirrored data (top facing up) in one location, 
then mirrored (bottom facing up) in anther parallel location... this type of 
panel works well in a pick and place line for mass production as the operator 
does not have to ensure that the panel is face UP.

What tools do you use?  I need to do AB panels, so it looks like some less 
expensive tools may not fit the bill.  AB panels are arrays with the artwork 
mirrored for some of the array.  Must also array and mirror NC drill.  

Any suggestions?  (No, the board shop cannot do this... I need full control... 
long story)
