Can't place some points in the command line. Invalid point

s0s

Edit: Adding this line: I can't place points in the command line when I try to place pads in the package editor.

 

I have Eagle 6.5.0 Light for 64-bit Mint Linux. I want to place 32 pads in the package editor. I've calculated all the points, and it would be much faster if I could place them in the command window, because they would be accurate. This link shows it can be done: Cadsoft Eagle how to make parts tutorial - DP

 

I notice the bug is when both coordinates are negative. However, the author of the article I linked to suggests making some negative, so that the package will be centered. I can manually place the points, but it's a real pain to get it to be accurate. Does anyone know how to solve this? I have done searches, but I saw no relevant results.

 

Thanks in advance.

    On Eagle V6.6.0 it works for me.

    Line by line on the command line:

     

    grid mm 0.1 10 alt 0.05;

    grid dots on;

    smd 0.3 1.02 (-1 -2.4)(-.5 -2.4)(0 -2.4)(.5 -2.4)(1 -2.4)(1

    2.4)(.5 2.4)(0 2.4)(-.5 2.4)(-1 2.4);
