EVENT based ULP run.

e14 Contributor

HI,

 

From what I know so far we can run a ULP based on the following "Events"

 

1) Directly from the COMMAND LINE

2) From the CONTROL PANEL

3) From a KEYBOARD Short cut

4) From a menu button ( Button texts)

5) From within a ULP (??)

 

there maybe other ways I am not sure of.

 

I would like to run certain ULP's from other EVENTS, such as

 

1) Before or after a TOOLBAR action

2) After or before any MENU Commands

 

I am thinking that if we had an option in the user preferences that would

list the event type and the ULP to run from that event, then it would be

easy to use.

 

I know this could stuff some things up, but Cadsoft could nominate what

events are available to choose from.

 

This would give us much more functionality that we can customise ourselves,

and not "Bloat" the software for others.

 

What do you think?

    From time to time I have an idea that could be solved if a ULP or script

    would run upon the opening of a schematic or board. The ULP would be

    specific to the design file so reference to the ULP  would need to be

    contained in that file or the whole ULP contained in the .sch/.brd file when

    saved.

    Have you tried calling a ULP at opening of the brd/sch in eagle.scr ?

    A "top level" ULP could call a project level ULP knowing path, board name,

    etc
