Recommended Practice for handling drill data?

jameslittlefield

Using Eagle 5.2.0 Professional and recently managed to create a

situation where the symbols shown in the drill layer were inconsistent

with the same symbols shown in the drill legend.   After experimenting a

bit with Options->Set->Drill->Set and then editing the drill order

manually,  I was eventually able to get things back in sync.

 

It does appear however that the drill table extracted from a board does

not (always) list the drills in the same order as for drillegend.ulp,

drill-legend.ulp, and drillcfg.ulp.    Is there a recommended sequence

of steps for getting consistent results among all these ulps?

 

Thanks

Jim

    V4.x & V5.x

    I understand/use this ulp.   The issue is that the actual drill symbols

    in layer 144 don't always map correctly.    As noted in my original post

    (and Bob Johnson's follow up) it appears that the ulp does not assign

    symbols and drill sizes in the same order as Options->drills->set-Drills

    so you can wind up w/ inconsistent data.

    As noted, working on dozens of different boards with different drill sets,

    the script-generated table does not always match the symbols; because the

    options-drill-set command does not properly extract drill diameters in

    increasing order.

     

    Is there ANY way to allow a .ULP to modify the options-set-drill table?

     

    thanks,
