Thanks George, but it's just not working.
When I change to "85.0 40.0", I get the error message:
E- *Error* lowerCase: argument #1 should be either a string or a symbol
(type template = "S") - 40.0
BTW, I have the first "(" up above, and the last ")" below the line for
the slot.
So when my line reads "(85.0 x 40.0) "Plated" "85.0 x 40.0 +/- 4.0")",
error message:
E- *Error* length: argument must be a list or an array - "Plated"
Yes, I have a user field specified in the column definitions:
("User" "TOLERANCE" 10)
My drill chart has Figure, Size, Tolerance, Plated and Qty columns and
works great except for the slot.
It will not plug in the tolerance for the slot, but will for all of the
plated and non-plated holes.
Thanks for your time, when I have time I'll contact support.

Problem 1: Your hole size is incorrectly specified. You need to have
(85.0 40.0) instead of 85.0 x 40.0.
Problem 2: You need to enter ALL the text, not just the tolerance
The modified line would look line ((85.0 40.0) "Plated" "85.0 X 40.0 +/-
4 MIL") or whatever. This is a SKILL thing, parentheses inside
parenthesis.
Make sure you have a user field specified in your column definitions, we
use
(("Figure" "FIGURE" 6)
("Holesize" "BIT DIA" 8)
("User" "FINISHED HOLE" 24 "Left")
("Quantity" "QTY" 6 "Right"))

Hey guys,
Anyone out there modify their drill chart file
("default-mil.dlt" for mils)?
I have a "CustomData" section where the hole size, Plated or
Non-plated and the tolerance is listed.
With Allegro now defining slots, I can't figure out how to get a
slot tolerance to show up in the drill chart.
Here's the line in the "CustomData" section for the slot that's
not working correctly:
(85.0 x 40.0 "Plated" "+/- 4.0")
The size and the word "Plated" shows up in the drill chart, but
not the tolerance (+/- 4.0).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gary
