Generating EXCELLON files from command line

e14 Contributor

Hi there,

 

I've been able to generate gerbers from the command line but not having any

luck with the following invokation:

 

"C:\Program Files

(x86)\EAGLE-5.11.0\bin\eagle.exe" -X -dEXCELLON -RB30002.drl -oB30002.drd 

-D0.025 B30002.brd Drills Holes

 

Eagle starts running in the background and takes 25% of my CPU until I kill

the task. does anybody know how to generate drd files from the command line?

 

Thanks,

Neil

    Command should be all on one line, you are likely doing  that.

    The  -D needs to be a -E

    A full path to your board file is needed

    The drill file can be just the file name if it is in your board folder, as

    can be the output file

     

     

    Thanks Warren. -E did it.
