Hi sir or madam,

Oh i see.

Would you mind to send your gerber file and BOM file so that i can try to upload in our website ??  (no issues there)

Also,would you mind to generate your coordinate with mm ??

In this way,our system can recognize it easily .

Thank you .

In Chinese, that probably means we NEED mm but of course, they don't say that.
