Maximal hole size

Question

I am using EAGLE 6.4.0 Professional. I discovered that the maximal drill size it allows to choose (either in a pad or in a hole) is 0.1285" Why is there such limitation? How can I overcome it?

Just enter larger values by hand.

Up to 200 mm (7.7840") are valid, but it may be wrong in the help file

for 6.4.0.

You might want to update to EAGLE 6.6.0 (for which your license should

be valid, too). There were quite a few bug fixes.

From UPDATE_en.txt:

Release notes for EAGLE 6.6.0

=============================

Miscellaneous:

- Update in help for maximum sizes related to pads, smds, vias, wires,

polygons and holes from 0.51602 inch to 200 mm and for board size

from 1600x1600mm to 4000x4000mm.
