Project folder alias : $PROJECTDIR

e14 Contributor

so, it can be feasible to store Gerbers in different directory

 

e.g. $PROJECTDIR\Gerbers\%N.cmp

 

I think it is very easy to implement !

    Is the path to the current eagle.epf unique?

    There are already a number of aliasses for CAM output (%D, %E %P etc.).

    $PROJECTDIR is not unique. You can have many of them.

    You'd need something like $PROJECTDIR[n] for n-th project dir.

    If you exchange the order in the directory setup this can be quite confusing.

    Supplying the $EAGLEDIR as alias could be an alternative.

    Over the years, I suggested many times to add an $EPFDIR placeholder

    (and $BRDDIR $SCHDIR). No sucess so far...

    Sure. Who know why CadSoft doesn't want to implement it.

     

    BTW: My way to start Eagle is assigning eagle.exe to *.epf files. My

    setting for the "projects" folder in Eagle is just ".". There is no

    all-embracing Eagle projects root on my storage. Eagle projects are

    just subdirectories next to other project data (software,

    calculations, mechanical stuff...).
