Eagle freezes if run from ulp to generate gerber files

Former Member

I have a ULP to automate generation of gerberfiles.

In the ULP I use the following command:

 

system("\"" + EagleExe + "\" -X -x0.0 -y0.0 -O+ -c- -dGERBER_RS274X -o\"" + GerberFileName + "\" \"" + B.name + "\" tPlace tNames");

 

This usually works fine but in some cases it just freezes and nothing happens.

If I run the CAM processor manually i get the following warning:

Fullscreen contentimage_31710.html Download 
<html><head><title>Jive SBS</title></head>
<body><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<b>Error</b><br><font size="-1">
An general error occurred while processing your request.
</font></font></body></html>

 

The ULP probably freezes because of this warning, but the warning is not shown.

Eagle is probably waiting for me to answer the non visible dialog.

Is there some "silent mode" without warnings or some other way to sole this problem?

    Have you considered this? It could be nothing to do with it but worth mentioning I think.

    Eagle User Manual

    "Ch. 10.3 EAGLE Options at a Glance

    In order to output manufacturing data, for instance, with the CAM Processor,

    EAGLE can be started directly from a terminal window under Linux and Mac,

    or from a console window under MS Windows.

    Since Windows programs give up their connection to the console they have

    been started from, you can use the file eaglecon.exe (located in the eagle\bin

    subdirectory of your installation) if you want to run the CAM Processor from

    a batch file.

    This  version   of  EAGLE  is  exactly  the  same as the  eagle.exe, except  that  it

    doesn't disconnect from the console."
