..Eagle feathers, to be more specific.
Why is the smallest via so HUGE (33.685 dia, 19.685 hole)?
And no way to fix?
And..how can one create a BOM?

I'm beginning to wonder how you get anything done with a computer :)
you have more problems with eagle than everyone else put together

click the via symbol, in the toolbar is then the
shape,layer,size,drill
type the drill you want in the pulldown

or type something like: 'change drill 20mil' in the command line

in schematic; file,run, bom.ulp

or 'run bom.ulp' commandline

* The SMALLEST "diameter" is "10" and one gets roughly 36 mils (huge),
not 10 mils so that is a lie from the feather; the smallest drill is a
crazy 19.685; in fact all of the sizes are crazy.

* Do not have a schematic; it would take a week to make it, and i did
the layout with sets of group and copy in under an hour, including all
of the wires,etc.

* will try that in my board layout.
BTW, i notices that these ULPs create a script that is then run.
Figured out a number of the script commands (absolutely no help of
what there is, how to use those that work, etc).
I find it easy to do re-numbering of parts, changing values, etc with
scripts generated by a little program i write in a language that gives
me no sass and is understandable by mere mortals.
None of the ULPs that are supposed to re-number work do anything or
screw up what was on the board - that is why i quit using ULPs (except
the useful one, copy-silk-screen.ulp).

I said TYPE not choose, you can put in any number you like

and remember that in design rules theres a setting for restring,
default
8mil I think

so the 36mil makes sense 8+20+8mil
