Mount file missing board side designator?

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 14 years ago

Hi,

 

I am using 4.15r, and have used the  mount.ulp shipped with the tool to

generate mount information.

 

By boardhouse has just got back to me to say that the resulting .mnt fileis

missing information about which side of the board the part is on. I lookeda

at the ULP and is does specify the output to be :

 

value;x-coord;y-coord;rotation;name

 

The board house is expecting

 

value;x-coord;y-coord;rotation;side;name

 

before I go and learn how to add this information (it looks fairly trivial,

but i need to find out how to find the mount side of the element), has

anyone already done this?

 

Thanks

Chris

    Just as an update... making my own ULP was easier than I though!

     

    The help in Eagle (searched for User Langauge) gave a pretty good guide.

     

    I modified the line in the file that writes the mnt data :

     

           printf("%s;%5.0f;%5.0f;%3.0f;%d;%s \n",

                 E.value, u2mil((xmin + xmax)/2), u2mil((ymin + ymax)/2),

                 E.angle, E.mirror, E.name );

     

    The Eagle docs didnt explain mirror properly when listing the properties of

    the elements, but it was fairly obvious.

     

    So now my data come out in the right format for the board house, and I feel

    confident that writig ULPs isnt going to be that difficult!

     

    Cheers,

    Chris
