Expanded lock feature

Great suggestions. Sorry for jumping in on your thread but I have another

lock feature request: Group unlocking. Currently one can only group lock

but unlocking has to be made one by one. So if I have a board say 500 parts

and by mistake I group all and then hit lock. Every part is locked but to

unlock (yes, undo will help if not saved) I have to click every part one by

one to unlock. I guess unlock should be added to the toolbar as new tool or

expand the lock tool to select lock/unlock to it can be used when grouping.

Good morning, Petteri,

Group unlock is already present in Eagle.  Try this:

    group all;

    lock (CS>0 0);

The "(CS>0 0)" is script for Ctrl-Shift-RightClick at coordinates 0,0.

See the Eagle User's Manual under section 5.2.  Modifiers to coordinate

clicks are explained on page 95 of the English version, and on page 97

of the German version.

Likewise,

    lock (C>0 0);

will lock whatever group is currently selected.

This can be done without using the command line by selecting the group,

clicking the Lock icon, then Ctrl-RightClick to lock the group, or

Ctrl-Shift-RightClock to unlock it.

HTH,
