Ver 5.1.0 SET Question

Former Member

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.

    Hi,

     

    I found out what the problem was while I was getting some files ready to

    send, its that the maximum allowable drill size is 0.236" or 0.6cm.  If

    the drill size is increased above this size then the drd file will be

    incorrect.  I tested this in version 4.16 and version 5.0.0.

     

    Some of my components have holes that are larger than 0.236", so I'm not

    sure the best way to get around this.

     

    cheers,

    Maybe larger drills are not compatible with the PCB manufacturing

    process. (Big drill may tend to "snatch" when breaking through the

    board, and the holes may not be perfectly circular.)

    Perhaps use a milling approach for large holes ?

    Hi,

     

    Just an update, I think this 0.236" drill diameter limitation is a

    GC-Prevue "bug", and not anything to do with Eagle.

     

    cheers,

    Jamie
