Search for part on schematic/board?

Former Member

Is there anyway to search and jump to a part on a schematic or board?

Protel had a "jump to" option that you could for example search for "R1"

and it would move the cursor to the part.  Helpful when you have a

pretty dense layout.  Thanks.

    Hi John,

     

    In version 5, use show @ instead of the find.ulp. So let's you want to

    find R1, type:

     

    show @ R1 -> Enter

     

    EAGLE will draw a little frame around the part so that you can find it

    easily.

     

    Best Regards,

    I have assigned

    Show_@_

    (where _ is a space)

    to Control-F as this is the usual windows shortcut.

     

    Then you just press Ctrl-F, type R1 and enter and it shows it nicely.
