multi sheet search

autodeskguest over 15 years ago

is there a way to use SHOW to find components across a multi sheet

schematic? I don't know on what sheet each part resides and would like to

get the properties of these parts quickly.

Not that I know of. INFO gives you some information, including the
coordinates within the schematic page, but not the page number.

All this information is available in the internal structures, so it
wouldn't be hard to write a ULP that tells you where each gate of a part is
in the schematic and where the package is on the board. My INDEX.ULP
creates a part finder list with exactly this information about every part.
I include this part finder in the package of assembly documentation and
sometimes use it myself during troubleshooting. You can use my INDEX.ULP
as is and scan the resulting part locations list, or you can modify it to
make a ULP that shows that information for a particular part on the fly.

INDEX.ULP and lots of other Eagle stuff is in my Eagle Tools release
available from http://www.embedinc.com/pic/dload.htm.

There is a tweak for it. Create an empty sheet, go there, then do show. This
will give you a list of hits and their page number.
