It would be really nice if there was a way to simply click on a copper trace
(wire) and have it's signal name and length immediately displayed (for use
when routing impedance controlled wires). Could you possible create a
button/tool that appears in the menu? Or could you possibly add the length
information to the "info" dialog? Or could a .ulp be written that does
this? I cannot find a way to extract the current mouse X/Y coordinates when
the mouse is clicked.
Length.ulp does this, but it produces a lengthy text file that lists the
signal names and lengths for all wires on the board - which you then have to
manually open, find the signal name, then obtain the length for each wire
that you work with.
Many thanks!
