Warning message if everything can not be cut?

satchid23 #456 HI JJ, Fine work you have done! I have cut a little PCB today, it went very well. However, after inspection I found 3 islands that were supposed to be separate, but where still together because they were to close together. In this case, it was obvious, and I spotted the fault immediately "after" the PCB was made. In a more complex and bigger PCB, it could be that it was not seen and therefore might blow up things after al is mounted, not to speak of the work afterwards to do the separation manually. Would it not be possible to create a warning message of such errors when the G-code is made, if possible with indication of where the problem(s) exists? Then, it could be repaired before cutting and before damage is done, and also safe the work to separate the island. Thanks, Willy OGGN

Ted Maculat #457 In the Tools menu click on DRC This is the design rules for the board you are making. Usually (Default) Click on the "Check" button will show any issues like you describe. toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: "Satchid" <satchid@...> To: <pcb-gcode@...> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 2:30 PM Subject: [pcb-gcode] Warning message if everything can not be cut?

satchid23 #458 Thanks Ted, But: In the design rules it is ok on the particular areas. As far as I know, cutting or not cutting a particular isolation line is dependant of the thickness of the cutter. This was not seen by the DRC of Eagle. I think that a warning by PCB-GCODE would not be out of its place. Once again, Eagle's DRC did not spot the problem, and it was not cut by PCB-GCODE.

Ted Maculat #459 In the Files area of this group is a file called pcb-gcode.dru download this file to the dru folder in your Eagle program folder. Then on the Tools DRU tab there is a Load button to load the new design rules You might find these work better. toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: "Satchid" <satchid@...> To: <pcb-gcode@...> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 4:19 PM Subject: RE: [pcb-gcode] Warning message if everything can not be cut?

satchid23 #461 Yes Ted, Ok that will work better. But again here: Say for instance I have set a cutter size or the default insulation to 1.5mm in PCB-GCODE-setup (I know this is exaggerated), then, whatever you do in Eagle, it will not cut certain cuts that are narrower the above. This is what I would like to have in a warning. When (like me) am not using the program on a daily bases, then one tent to forget certain things. Thank you for your answers.
