[PCB_FORUM] Re: Drill symbol customization

Hey Moris,

 

Thanks for the response, it looks like Auto Generation might be the ticket!
It must be pretty new, probably 14.x or 15.x, right?

I tried it and it definitely has possibilities.  I think it will be less
trouble than managing the drill symbols in the padstack library.

 

Thanks again!

Hi Gary;

 

Try using the Drill Customization tool.

Select Manufacture > NC > Drill Customization. 

Hit the "Auto Generation" button that generates different symbols for each
drill size.
Also if you have duplicated drill sizes with different symbols you can merge
them here.

After you make the changes , run NcDrill Legend again.

 

Regards;

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] drill symbols

 

Hey all,

 

The padstacks in our library have a unique drill symbol for each drill size
(either a "Figure", a "Character" or

a combination of the two).

This is a "mature" library, and I'm starting to run out of symbols with all
of the odd drill sizes I'm adding lately.

 

What do you do when all of the combinations are used up?  Anybody else have
this problem?

 

Thanks for a clue!
