drill data generation & update

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 16 years ago

When processing drill data in preperation to generate gerber outputs, I have

not yet found a way to automatically update the drill table in Options ->

Set -> Drill.   Clicking the "SET" button on the Drill table does

automatically extract drill sizes from the current project, but does not

sort them in increasing diameter (I would prefer it did).  But even if it

did sort them, it is still a manual process.  I can't even find a way to

execute that "SET" button command through a .ULP script.

 

Am I missing something?   Seems that matching the Drill Table

(options->set->drill) with the ULP-generated Drill Legend should be a

single-step process, right?

 

I'd be happy to update the drill-legend ULP to do this, but can't find any

ULP hooks to do it.

 

thanks,

..dane

    Did you ever discover how to update the Drill sizes from inside a ULP?

     

    No, unfortunately.

     

    I'm encountering this again tonight; I have about nine PCB's that I'm

    processing tonight and I have to manually go update the drill settings for

    each board, each time I want to generate gerbers.  It's quite frustrating!

     

    If I could setup the drill data from within a ULP, then I could adapt the

    drill legend generator ULP to incorporate that step automatically so that

    everything is consistent.

     

    CadSoft-- any way to better automate this task?

     

    thanks!
