Future of Eagle

Joop14

Hello all,

 

I saw the release notes of Beta version 7.6.2:

 

Quote:

- Added 'manufacturing.ulp' provided by Autodesk. It supports an

upload of EAGLE drawing files to 'circuits.io' in order to generate

manufacturing data which can then be downloaded. The Ulp is

accessible as an icon in the board editor.

- Added 'ecadio.ulp' provided by Autodesk. It supports an upload

of EAGLE boards to 'ecad.io' in order to generate a 3D PCB for

use in MCAD systems. The Ulp is accessible as an icon in the

board editor.

 

 

So, new "features" are not accessible anymore without internet

connection??

 

What happened with "we want standalone programs that can do the job"??

 

What if I don't want to upload my intellectual property to others?

 

What about IDF export without any dependency of a vendor?

 

I'm a bit worried about the direction of Eagle.

    You missed the new feature that doesn't require any external resources. The one where the net names appears in your traces in your PCB.

     

    Okay... I missed this one.  How does one turn this on?  I'm using 7.6.0

    on linux.  I didn't find anything in Help, nor the manual, nor in

    Options->Set.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Chuck,

     

    It's not available in 7.6.0, it's in the latest 7.6.2 beta. Then in Options -> Set -> Misc there is a new checkbox for 'Display signal names'.

     

    Best Regards,
