He has no lbr file, nor will have.

so?

Hi eSilviu,

He can extract the libraries using exp-project-lbr.ulp and measure them

there.

In V6 there will be a dimension tool and that can be used to double check.

Best Regards,

Jorge

Sure. Eagle expects every user to be a computer scientist.

Q1 : How do I check if holes for components are with the right drill?

 

use drill legend and check the drill size for the pads you are interested.

Or write a small ULP that lists the drill size for the selected components

Q2 :  How do I measure clearance between two IC pads?

 

Set the grid to 1 mil, and displayed with lines or dots, and check/count

the spacing

or, draw a line between the objects you want to measure, then with info

you can get the length

or, to check if you have at least (exemple) 8 mils clearance, draw a 8x8

rectangle and move it around with your mouse

or, check stats_brd.ulp to see the smallest clearance

sorry, I'm a noob. Where do I see that "drill legend"?

ULP? me to write one? That's C/Java !! I only know how to dray electronics

circuits...

Q2 :  How do I measure clearance between two IC pads?

That's a workaround ! should I count dots on the screen?! in year

2011?!!!!!!!!!!

or, draw a line between the objects you want to measure, then with info

you can get the length

That's a workaround too! line has round terminations what to do with that?!

or, to check if you have at least (exemple) 8 mils clearance, draw a 8x8

rectangle and move it around with your mouse

Hey! That's a workaround too!

I want to know exactly the distance between those two pads. It's so hard? so

complicated?

or, check stats_brd.ulp to see the smallest clearance

how do I know about this stats_brd.ulp ? it writes in the manual?! should I

run every ulp one by one until I found one to do what I want?

Sorry, Jerome if i am not polite. Those questions were addresed to Cadsoft,

and I still wait for a short answer to transmit to my customer. It should be

short and straight-forward, since customer's questions were ones of the

simpliest possible.

Question 2:

How do I measure clearance betweem two IC pads?

There is a quick answer? Why?
