Re: Circuit duplication

Former Member

Hi, that´s working for the schematic, but when it start duplicating on the

board, there´s an error.

"Can´t execute while command is running in other window"

 

How can I fix that?

 

The error message comes for every line in the script, several times.

It´s like I copy and paste on the schematic, I still need to route on the

board, and that´s not what the script should do, right?

    This question has already been put to Tech Support, but I will add it here

    as well in case someone has the answer..

     

    How do we duplicate a section of both the schematic and its layout?

    I have a design that has a common circuit (contains isolated power) that

    needs to be replicated many times, with each part AND signal being UNIQUE.

     

    I've seen that by adding an underscore & number at the end of each part

    name, such as R22_1 for example, that part in the copy correctly

    increments as expected: R22_2, R22_3, ect.

     

    The signals do NOT do that, and I haven't seen how to do the same auto

    increment of them in the manual (not sure what search words to use).

     

    Equal to that in need is to replicate the circuit layout.  When a copy is

    made on the schematic, all the new parts are deposited outside the board

    border.

     

    There must be a way to make unique schematic & layout copies of circuit

    sections...

     

    Using Professional Edition 5.3.0

    Hi:

     

    Try "duplicating_v41.zip" in ulp download area. v42 is on the way

    Maurice,

     

    Have never used any scripts or ulp before..

    Unable to get this working- yet..

    How to duplicate modules in Eagle easily:

     

     

    Preliminary:

    ============

    1- unzip,

    2- copy the script files to the default script directory

           (normally "c:
    Program Files
    eagle-4.11
    scr
    ")

    3- copy the ulp files to the ulp default directory

           ( normally "c:
    Program Files
    eagle-4.11
    ulp
    ")

    4- Launch Eagle

     

    >>> Copied ulp and scr files.

     

    5- open your personal library, ex: "open mylib"

     

    >>> No such library under control panel/libraries.  Created a

    "personal" one.

     

    6- inside, run the script: "script markers.scr"

     

    >>> No such file found, only "duplicate.scr" and "markers.scr"

    >>> Stopped here.

     

        This will add the markers MRK_DOWN_LEFT, MRK_UP_RIGHT,

           MRK_DELTA and NBR_MOD to your personal library

    6- Save your library "write", close it

    7- if you like assigning CTRL+D to the whole operation,

        open eagle.scr and add:

         assign C+D  'script duplicate', save and close.

    8- If necessary, open "duplicate_schematic_v4.ulp" and

        "duplicate_board_v4.ulp" and set the variable scr_path

        (if you don't use the default value), save and close
