DRC error with drill sizes

Community PCB Design

Hi,

I’m using eagle, and a rule check file from sparkfun (latest sparkfun.dru).

Somehow I ended up using vias with the following properties:

  • diameter: auto

  • drill: 0.02 (imperial)

  • shape: round

The DRC gives me the following error on all vias: “Drill Size”.

I guess I need to specify a conventional drill size for my vias… Where are these drill sizes defined?

Alternatively, how do I use Eagle to change the drill size, for all the vias (100s of them)?

Thanks

That’s slightly odd… 20mil drill size should go through Sparkfun’s DRC…

Can you paste the header of your drill file here? It sounds like the drillfile isn’t being parsed correctly.

Yup that was right. Turns out I wasn’t using the sparkfun dru file. It looks like Eagle loads the default dru file whenever the application is restarted.

Thanks for the headsup!
