Script file drill size

autodeskguest

Hello,

I have recently started using Eagle (ver. 5.1.0) and am trying to create a

script file to generate my board (it is easiest for me to make the script

file for what I am doing).  I would like to place vias with hole size of

0.01" and diameter 0.015".  I put in the command:

 

CHANGE DRILL diameter 0.01;

and then:

Via 0.01 ROUND 1-2 (0.10 0.16);

 

When I run the script I get an error:

"Invalid pad drill: "Diameter 0.01"

(valid range is 0.000004..0.516024inch)

 

and Eagle puts a via in the right place with diameter 0.01 and drill

0.023622

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong

thank you in advance

David

    Are you sure about this - the drill cannot be less than the pad- the actual

    pad diameter gets changed by Eagle in this case

    In any case the first line should just be:

     

    change drill 0.01;   you do not need diameter in there

     

      You also leave an annular ring of only 0.0025" - there is hardly any

    copper there! Eagles DRC check parameters will need to be changed to

    accommodate all of this or else Eagle will automatically increase the

    annular ring- see the restring parameters.

     

    The second parameter in the via line should be the pad diameter, I take it

    this is just a typo

     

    cheers
