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.

    Just a few issues that immediately come up my mind:

     

    - Urgently needed: "optional pins" in symbols - to enable us to use a

    device set even if some package variants differ in the number of

    connected pins. Currently, every difference in the symbol requires a new

    device. image I also have concrete ideas about how to implement this.

     

    - Swapping of "pin groups" within a device. Think of a bus transceiver

    with eigth data lines but a common enable and direction input, or a

    relay with several contact sets moved by one coil. You can't use gates

    in these cases since they could also be swapped between different

    devices - regardless of the common signals.

     

    This boils down to the "feature request" that somebody inside CADSOFT

    should work on real world designs...
