Running the CAM processor from the command   line

Former Member

I just lost a few days on a board due to my being in a hurry.  Does anyone

know how to run the "drillcfg.ulp" and then start-up the CAM processor to

do the rest of the steps???  Or, is there a way to bypass the step to run

the drillcfg.ulp??  I have searched the HELP for running the CAM from the

command line, although, every other conceivable command is in there, where

is CAM???

 

Thanks for the help.

    Hello Stewart,

     

    Is there any reason you still want to use "drillcfg.ulp"?. From Eagle 4.12 

    on, the excellon drill device (and maybe others) can automatically 

    generate the necessary drill definitions and contain them within the drill 

    file. After Eagle 4.0 I've never used "drillcfg.ulp" anymore. But, of 

    course, there can be special reasons for using it.

     

     

    Anyway, If you are on Mac or Linux, then maybe this is something for you:

    Richard,

     

    Thank you VERY much, I was not sure what drillcfg really did, all I kept

    thinking was, "don't mess with success"

     

    Now I have my single click solution that I wanted.

     

    I just simply added a new tab in each of my configurations to do what the

    Excellon config had selected.

     

    Thank you again.

     

    I still wonder why all other commands that you can select with a mouse are

    also able to be called by name on the console EXCEPT for CAM

     

    HAPPY NEW YEAR.
