Your line needs to read "((85.0 40.0) "Plated" "85.0 x 40.0 +/- 4.0")",
not "(85.0 x 40.0) "Plated" "85.0 x 40.0 +/- 4.0")". The two
parenthesis at the start are very important, and the "x" is getting
confused for the second coordinate, which is probably the cause for the
error :) This is straight out of the comments, and how I have it set up
to work here.
Skill code (which includes these files, clipboard files, and such) does
not pay attention to carriage returns. You can literally crunch them
down into one line and they will still work (as long as you remove the
comments). It is OK that the two parentheses are on different lines, it
doesn't matter. You could probably even format the above line like
(
(
85.0
40.0
)
"Plated"
"85.0 x 40.0 +/- 4.0"
)
and it would probably still work (never tried this but it is consistent
with other skill structures).

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"))

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] default-x.dlt file snafu
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
