Those two are REAL QUESTIONS, that needs answer in max 24h... not half year.

I can't answer my customer with "RTFM" or "Wait 1 year, maybe Cadsoft will

implement a ruller "

Hello eSilviu,

 

You could also set the grid to a small increment (1mil or whatever is

convenient), use the mark command to place a relative origin at one end

of what you want to measure and then take your mouse cursor to the other

point, you can then read off the distance directly by looking at the

relative mouse coordinates.

 

This is a reasonable solution that doesn't involve counting squares, or

some sort of wacky workaround.

 

Best Regards,

Jorge

    You do know that this is the suggest forum, right?

    We have a support forum for support questions image

     

    I can't answer my customer with "RTFM" or "Wait 1 year, maybe Cadsoft will

    implement a ruller "

     

    If you want to measure the distance between two points in EAGLE, the

    MARK command is what you should use, as Jorge has suggested.
