Help with UPL "if plur OR "

autodeskguest

I am modifiying an ULP that adapts all drill sizes to Olimex ones but

I want to check if the drill size is already and olimex standard.

 

So I want to check the value of "rval" against the standard values, so

have made that line ( formatting has been los a little )

 

but i get an error when running the ULP, have I made something wrong in

the

 

if.....

 

line

 

 

code fragment starts-------

 

real rval=isdrill// first we check if the drill value is an Olimex

standard, if so we do not modify it

 

if (rval!=3.3 || rval!=2.1 || rval!=1.5 || rval!=1.3 || rval!=1.1 ||

rval!=1.0 || rval!=0.9 || rval!=0.7) {

 

rval = round((isdrill+round_offset) * 10.0) / 10.0; // round value

 

}

 

 

 

 

code fragment end-------

 

Thanks in advance

    There are many board houses out there.  Why waste time with the only one

    that can't multiply by 25.4, with a uppity attitude on top of that?

     

    Around 8 years ago I thought I'd give Olimex a try on some prototype

    boards.  I put together the same package of files that plenty of other

    board houses would have had no problem with.  Instead of boards, I got a

    rather rude and terse email from Svetan about how the hole diameters

    weren't metric, with the attitude that I was a jerk for wasting their time

    with that.  No, I wasn't going to make one set of files for Olimex and one

    for everyone else.  I found another board house that charged the same

    (possibly even less if I recall correctly) and used the files as they were

    without problem.  I never even mentioned Olimex to the customer.  This went

    on to become a significant volume product.  I don't know where the customer

    gets their boards today, but I know they started out with the same place I

    used to get the prototype boards made.  They also used them for assembly

    work later.

     

    I don't know how much business Olimex has lost with their arrogant attitude

    and the fact that their computers can't multiply by 25.4, but I know of

    some for sure.
