-N has no effect on promt suppression?

Former Member

Hi,

 

I'm hacking together some scripts to CAM process my boards automatically. My current command line looks like

 

> eagle -C " " -N- -X -d EPS some.brd -o some.tl.eps Top Pads Vias
EAGLE Version 6.4.0 Copyright (c) 1988-2013 CadSoft                       
CAM Processor: Encapsulated PostScript                                    
: ------------------------------                                          
Package 'PACK-SOT89' of element 'E$18' contains a polygon that may cause extremely large plot data.

The problem here is that neither the '-N-' nor the '-N+' option does not what it is supposed to do according to the manual,

 

Yes, I tried both versions, because http://www.cadsoft.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/V6_manual_en.pdf says:

-N+ Suppress message prompts

but in the F1 help of my installation I can read:

-N- keine Rückfragen in der Kommandozeile

UPDATE: Just found out that the +/- inidcates the option's default – still wondering why the german and english version should have different defaults.

 

In fact I just need a way to tell eagle not to stop processing, but answer all questions with yes.

 

Thanks

Moritz

    I ran across the same thing somewhere in v5, and it has not been fixed

    in v6.
