How to change min D-Code for Gerber files?

Former Member

I am fairly new to creating Gerbers.  A PCB vendor wants me to change the min D-code from .1 mil to 2 mil.  I have looked through Eagle 5.11, but am not sure how to change this value or what specifically this value represents.  I think it is x, y coordinates for the dimensions, and vias, but it needs to be rounded up to 2mil.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

    Take a look at your polygon widths. You can look at the Gerber files

    with a text editor and see what section has the small D-code. cut other

    sections out and view the result with a Gerber viewer to see where they

    are being generated. It also could be coming from rotated smd pad's

    Running  statistic-brd.ulp can help  locate small sizes used in a polygons

    etc. and provide you with a net name.

    It is then a simple matter to show(highlight) the net name on the board..

     

    Results from statistic-brd.ulp in are in millimeters
