Export my assigned keys?

Hi,

 

I wonder if there's some how a way to export the Hotkeys I've assigned in Eagle to import them onto another maschine or to give away to other users?

ULP? If, then how?

Can't find them in any of the scr files in the program folder.

 

Any idea?

Hi Charles,

I hope you're doing well. In this case I would set up all of the

assignments in the eagle.scr file(See the default eagle.scr file for an

example). Once you have everything setup in your eagle.scr file then you

can simply pass that file along to other users or machines.

They would replace their default eagle.scr file with the one you send them.

Hi Jorge,

Thank's for the reply!

Eagle.scr....Well, that is to be but as for now all my assigned keys (and I have a couple) is trapped somewhere else inside Eagle or it's files.

Lazy as the human can get I hoped that there was a way to export them without the need copy them all by hand, a quite boring and timeconsuming task but when done I'll never assign keys directly in Eagle it self ever again (since there's seems no way to get hold of them easily).

A bit odd though, why don't the keys I assign from inside Eagle end up in that eagle.scr file in the first place?

Any other tip on this?

All the best!

Hi Bigstone,

That's a very debated and long fought over topic, which I do not intend

to get into here. The hidden deep file you're asking about is the

eaglerc.usr file. It's a pain to find(especially in newer releases of

Windows) and I personally think working with the eagle.scr is simpler

and more robust.

With that said, I don't intend to start a flame war.

Best Regards,

Jorge Garcia

eaglerc.usr needs expanding if it is to be used to recover the assigned keys

easily.

There are three sections within it containing assigned keys. The ones for

schematic and board are fine but the section for the library assigned keys

is not further broken down to Package, Symbol and Device and this causes an

issue. Eagle is currently shipping such that the package editor and the

symbol editor both use the ALT+P combination. One uses it for PIN and the

other for PAD . How can  eagle.usr possibly reflect that, it can't, not both

at the same time. The one you can get at  is the active editor or when a

'save all' / write  was performed and eaglerc updated.

I have put some time into a ULP to export the key assignments. Board and

Schematic are fine and then it gets complicated as you must open each of the

Library editors, to get the assigns. Its a bit ugly as the assigns you

gather contain all the library assigns and you can't determine which editor

they specifically belong to. Importantly  the ones pertaining to that editor

are included. Many are replicated across editors so they are fine. Others

call commands that wont work in  that editor. The ULP has been abandoned for

now awaiting bad weather or a brain wave.

It would be nice if eaglerc had the LBR_assigns  sections for Lbr Sym Pac

and Dev

Hi, I found an easy fix for this if using Windows.

ASSIGN SETTINGS ARE STORED IN:

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\CadSoft\EAGLE

in eaglerc.usr.sav file

Just copy that file over in the same directory after doing a new install.

Note: this was using version 8.2.2 but I imagine will work in newer ones as well.

near miss,

try %appdata%\cadsoft\eagle\eaglerc.usr

everything that looks like: Brd.Key..., Sch.Key..., Lbr.Key...

represents a hotkey

woops, yeah +1 Lorenz.  This saves me though, so keep an eye on that file

Thanks looking for these for my project.
