Eagle Customization - config section settings

Eagle System Files

This section contains pointers to the locations of files required for Eagle such as message and font files. Incorrect setting of these variables can lead to serious problems at startup time.

	EAGLEMESSAGEFILE
Values	a directory path and message file
Description	Sets the location of the Eagle message file. The message file is a text file of messages compiled SETMSG utility program into a MSG file to be used by Eagle.
Default	-eaglepath/bft/eagle.msg
Example	EAGLEMESSAGEFILE=-eaglepath/bft/eagle.msg

	EAGLEFONTFILE
Values	a directory path and font file
Description	Used to set the location of the default Eagle vector font used by Eagle. Eagle vector font files are compiled into binary by the MKFONT external utility. In V14 Eagle also has the capability to display annotation using Windows TTF fonts. Refer to the Windows Fonts article for more details about FIRMWARE fonts.
Default	-eaglepath/bft/stdfont.fnt
Example	EAGLEFONTFILE=-eaglepath/bft/stdfont.fnt

	UTILSMESSAGEFILE
Values	a directory path and message file
Description	Used to set the location of the message file for utility programs.
Default	-eaglepath/bft/libmsg.msg
Example	UTILSMESSAGEFILE=-eaglepath/bft/libmsg.msg

	DRIVERCONFIGFILE
Values	a directory path and config file
Description	Defines the location of the driver configuration file for plotters and digitizers. This file is preset some generic driver settings typically for XPLOT. It is probably appropriate to note that the preferred way of generating plots on Windows is to output XPLOT HPGL or HPGL2 or IMAGE files to WINPLOT which can then utilise the SETUPDEVICE and LISTDEVICE commands to output to any standard Windows printer for which there is already a printer driver installed thus negating the individual configuration of every device in the tabdef file.
Default	-eaglesite/tabdef.dcf
Example	DRIVERCONFIGFILE=-eaglesite/tabdef.dcf
