CAM Process Create Directories

Former Member

Hello,

 

I would like to suggest that there be a way for the CAM processor to

automatically create any sub-directories it needs based on the file

specified for a given layer.  For instance, I have the following file

specified for my top layer:

 

%P/gerbers/01-top.grb

 

This structure helps keep the design files separate from the manufacturing

file output.

 

But I have to manually create the gerbers folder which is a bit of a pain.

There is more to this folder structure so it's not just one folder, but

actually a whole tree of folders for various outputs and formats.

 

It would be nice if I could set a switch in the CAM processor to simply

create any sub-directories that it needs that don't exist.

 

James.

    or even not a switch... just do it.

    +1

    I think this is the reasons "folders" were invented after all: to sort

    things. Currently an Eagle "project" is just a bunch of files, most of them

    unassociated in OS with any executable (eagle or other). Eagle should sort

    them (by default) by functionality.
