Restring Tolerance Compliance

autodeskguest

I've been spending the better part of today wasting tons of my company's

money trying to save a buck - it's not making much sense for this

one-time, but I am also hoping this investment will increase my

understanding and either find me a more cost-effective board house or

give me the ability to better test my boards against the various houses

to see who is cheaper in each case.

 

On to the real problem at hand.  I've perused the board and found a few

complaints about the DRC's insistence on CHANGING restrings (annular

ring - as it SHOULD be called because I never stringed anything in the

first place in order to need to REstring it!).  Apparently the DRC even

does this if you have NOT set your pads in your libraries to AUTO.  Even

more dumber.  All this being really bad, to add insult to injury I

really do not CARE what percentage of annular ring I have aorund my

pads, every board house I've look at simply cares about the differential

diameter.  It wouldn't matter to them if I had a via the diameter of a

human hair or one the size of the Himalayans - they want one thing: a

specified amount of diameter LARGER than the drill.  It's not a

percentage, its a hard and fast number.  Why can't EAGLE accept a

percentage, a calculation, or a hard-and-fast value??

 

Suggestion for change?!

    Not sure if you are serious, but it is rest-ring NOT re-string. (?)

    Unfortunately I was serious... but in either case this seems like so

    many things in the world where someone didn't come up with an effective

    name, and about 8 people came up with 8 different ineffective names for

    something.  Annular ring makes the most sense.  I don't know why you

    would want to call it the "REST" ring... what's resting?  Or does it

    mean the "rest" of the ring that's not a hole?!  Annular kinda tells me

    intuitively that it is the ring AROUND something else, or in this case,

    the ring of copper around a drill hole.

     

    In any case, thanks for the correction.  It's a bit of a pet-peeve of

    mine that the collective "we" does not have a better vocabulary.  It's

    really hard to discuss some things when I call something an apple that

    you call an orange that might in fact be an elephant!
