Wish List for New Features

autodeskguest

Hello everyone,

 

Now that there has been time for a lot of us to evaluate EAGLE 5, let's

compile a list of features that we'd like to see in new releases.

 

Tilman or another bilingual (german and english) forum participant, could

you post this on the german userchat forum in translated form?  I'd like to

get all user input, not just 1/2 like previous incarnations of this type of

interface.

 

I'll collect all the items, group them, and then create a poll at

eaglecentral.ca where we'll have a vote on it.  It will be bilingual.  A

poll will give CadSoft some real numbers about which items have the most

popularity.

 

Cheers,

 

James.

    Hello everyone,

     

    Now that there has been time for a lot of us to evaluate EAGLE 5, let's

    compile a list of features that we'd like to see in new releases.

     

     

    OK, I'll start on the english side:

     

    - already mentioned in German group:  hierarchy in designs.  Joerg, where

    are you image

    - Footprints to allow named copper, abnormal pad shapes, custom copper,

    ..

    - configurable colours of ratsnest wires-user can define ratsnest wire to

    be a certain colour per signal

    - control panel being able to open non-EAGLE files using OS default

    programs

    - edit local instance of footprint directly from PCB editor

    - better find functionality out of the box and configured to use (i.e. if

    it is done in ULP then already configured to assign statement by default so

    new users can access it right away)

    - store colour palette in design file if defined

    - inner layer keepouts

    - push aside router

     

    I'll stop there for now.  I have more on my list that I've pulled out of

    the suggest newsgroups (at least the english ones).

     

    Please add ideas you have had.  CadSoft won't know if you don't speak up.

     

    Kudos to CadSoft for the FollowMe router.  That was on my list when I

    started last week (or at least something similar).  That one caught be off

    guard and I was pleasantly surprised.

     

    Cheers,

     

    James.
