I just started using Eagle 6 and I think is awesome. I have two
suggestions that may not be too difficult to implement. They may already
been requested.
1 - I often need to copy a given project into the same directory as the
original under a new name. Generally this is to use an existing projects
as a sort of starting point for another.
There is a "copy" option in the context menu that shows up when right
clicking a folder in the control panel. This copy function gives me a
lot of, for me, useless options and restrictions, but does not allow me
to place the copy in the same directory as the original under a
different name. The suggested solution is allow it and to give the copy
a name such as "copy of xxxx" or allow to enter a new name.
Alternatively, the standard copy and paste functions, which are very
similar in Windows, Linux and Mac should be available.
2 - During the installation of Eagle, a step should be added to
calibrate Eagle to the screen pixel size of the monitor and video card
in use. This would happen only once unless the monitor or card are
replaced. After that, a command such as WINDOW ACTUALSIZE would zoom the
board or the package to the actual physical size of the board or
package, allowing to view the size of the design.
Thanks for considering these suggestions.
