Eagle Drill Sizes

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi All,

 

I'm a student currently working on my senior design project. I have no PCB experience whatsoever and this project is my first experience doing a PCB design. I just submitted CAM files to Advanced Circuits to get a prototype board printed for my project (they have special pricing for students) and I got an email back with several errors found by a CAM Engineer. One of the errors include "This design has minimum drill size of .01181" that is less than AC minimum of .015" for $33 special. Please provide a revised drill file"  When I was doing my design I didn't think to adjust any drill sizes so I just used whatever Eagle gave me.

 

In Eagle Freeware, Is there any easy way to change the minimum drill sizes for all the holes under .015"? What is the process of doing this? I hope I won't have to start over.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Tim

    Depending on what is easier you could also right click on each hole then select the drill size from the menu. That would save you from having to reroute the entire board.

    Yes you could, but I find it fundamentally so easy to rip up the board and redo the auto-router, even for the smallest of changes as it only takes a few minutes to re-route.

    Depends on the board. Not everything can be auto routed or re-done quickly.

    True, true mate, it's just that this is a kid doing a project, so I don't expect it to be to complex!
