Re: [PEDA] Protel - Drill Drawing missing holes

2002-08-30 Thread rlamoreaux

I've only seen this when I had some holes on top of holes. One report 
consolidated the holes at the same location and the other did not.

No but try seeing how many holes the hole size editor reports and edit the
problem hole size setting it to the same size anyway. 

The hole size editor has problems with holes that are almost the same size
so maybe the Drill Drawing legend does also. 

The hole size editor problem is something to do with the listbox that
displays hole sizes not accepting duplicate strings so when you have two
hole sizes which round to the same description in the listbox you only get
one or the other. When you edit the hole size there seems to be some
matching tolerance and it actually edits both sizes and suddenly the count
for that size goes up. 


Cheers, Terry.

Thanks for the tip--but what is the 'hole size editor' and how do I run it?  I don't 
see it anywhere in the menus or help...??

[PEDA] Protel - Drill Drawing missing holes

2002-08-29 Thread Peter W. Richards

Has anyone seen this problem (Protel99SE, SP6):

I create the following 3 outputs from my PCB:
 - Drill Drawing (.GD1) Gerber
 - Drill Drawing 'Print Preview' 
 - Drill Report (.DRR) file

The 'Print Preview' drill .LEGEND table correctly shows that I have 1156 holes of 
various sizes (14 tools, to be exact, some plated, some not)

The .DRR file also shows the correct info, 1156 holes.

The Drill Drawing Gerber file's .LEGEND table shows 1152 holes.  Four hole symbols are 
missing from the PCB itself, the table text actually says '1152', and one line in the 
table shows 4 less holes than it should.

I thought at first that I was doing something dumb like looking at an old copy of the 
.GD1 file, but that's not it--I can change other hole locations etc and they show up 
in the re-generated gerber output.

Also:

I set up a 'minimum annular ring' rule.  Unfortunately it flags as errors any 
nonplated holes I have on the board.  I can't figure out how to make it filter out the 
nonplated holes from the rule check.
