Right-click set Mark

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

A really nice feature would be the ability to right click on a component origin and set the Mark at that origin regardless of whether it is on-grid or not.  I am frequently constrained by mechanical design to place components off-grid (LEDs that have to line up with lenses for example) and this feature would make placing component arrays that much simpler.

    Thanks.  Exactly what I was looking for.  Depressingly simple once I see it.  I obviously need to consider capability extension via ULP before throwing up my hands!

    Place the ULP "MarkPacOrg.ulp" (attached) in your ulp directory

    and enter in the command line of the board editor the script below:

    Set Context Element MarkPacOrg 'run MarkPacOrg.ulp';

     

    If you are in V6.2.0, right click on the component origin and choose 'MarkPacOrg' in the context

    menu.

     

     

    begin 666 MarkPacOrg.ulp
