I have been using Eagle Pro versions for many years.  As part of an

for which I cannot find an answer.

 

"Error: Too many values for menu!"  while trying to use set

drill_menu in eagle.scr.

 

Clearly I have tried to include too many drill values, and I could

delete values until I no longer get the error, but it would be

interesting to know if the value is documented anywhere.  Does

anyone know the value or can provide a reference?

 

Thanks,

Steve.

 

 

 

It is allowed to have a maximum of 16 values. See also the help

for the SET command.

 

 

I am generating gerbers for a PCB with 18 drill values, and all of the

drills appear as pinpoints in the gerbers, is there only 16 drill values

allowed in the .drl file?

 

I removed some components until I have only 14 drills used, and now the

gerbers are generated correctly.  I guess I have been pushing the limits

of eagle too much lately   Reached maximum schematic size limits and

also drill count limits

 

cheers,

There is no limit for the number of different drill diameters

for generating manufacturing data. Are sure you used the EXCELLON

device with the layers Drills and Holes active.

You talked about Gerbers and this is not the same as drill data......

Hi,

Yes I first run drillcfg.ulp, then run excellon.cam, then gerb-274x.cam

I've done several tests with simple boards with just vias, and still

notice this error.  Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I have made

quite a few PCB's with eagle before that didn't have this problem.

cheers,

Jamie
