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

an effort to upgrade to Ver 5.1.0, I have run across an error

message 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,

Jamie

 

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

 

Sorry, I can't reproduce this.

I made a board with 25 vias with different drill diameters. Each

diameter appears in the rack file and is contained in the excellon

file.

I tried this with the rack file generated by drillcfg.ulp and the

EXCELLON_RACK device and a second attempt with the EXCELLON device

that writes the drill table into the excellon file.

Both works fine.

 

Hi,

 

Please try running gerb274x.cam after you run excellon.cam, this

is where I noticed the problem, in the gerber files when I load them

into GC-PREVUE.  I can send you my test brd file if you like that

produces the faulty gerbers.

 

Hi,

please send me the files....
