Added new copyStyle command which adds context menu entries for duplicating the style of a hole, via or wire (including routes and polygons) so that any new objects of the same type will automatically have the same style.

Added new unlock command which provides a convenient command line method to unlock part by reference designator the same as can be done with the LOCK command for locking parts.

Additional updates to changeVia:

Bug fix: Shows the specified pad diameter rather than the post restring diameter so will no longer update vias to the post restring value.

Feature: Shows "auto" for the pad diameter where appropriate.

Feature: Shows the Outer/Inner pad diameters post the restring calculations.

Enhancement: Shows the currently selected via layer range (read only) in the edit area.

Added new changeVia command which allows vias within a design to be changed based on existing via styles, either individually or as a group of particular styled vias, existing via styles can be edited and new via styles can be defined.

This came about following a discussion on the Autodesk EAGLE forums (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/eagle-forum/via-setting/td-p/7115911) where a member was having trouble changing all the vias in their design as a group. There is an existing ULP shipped with EAGLE (change-via-by-stack) but it turns out this is broken in all kinds of ways, so I decided to add this new implementation to my library. It's still a bit of a work in progress and there are additional features I plan to add over time. I have listed the limitations I know about above, feel free to use it, but please be careful and back up your designs first just in case.

Added new groupNet command which allows all segments of a trace to be quickly added to a group.

Nice!

I usually summarise the disclaimer to these two words: "go away"

Dave Vandenbout from Xess has done scripting for KiCAD. Two of them may be inspirational (or maybe they already exist for Eagle?):

- create a schematic object from spreadsheet (KiPart)

Workflow: copy all pins from datasheet into a spreadsheet. Refine if needed, Run script. voila

Useful for many-pin parts like controllers, fpga, ...

- calculate BOM cost (KiCost)

Workflow: scrip wanders off to the internet to check distributor prices
