I'm a new user of Eagle, but am familiar with doing PCB Sch and Layout
from an old version of OrCAD. Eagle seems to miss making important
repetitive tasks easy to do. I'm hoping that you will have some ways to
make the following tasks quicker.
In Schematic:
Can you name a net, and display the name in one step?
Is there a way to automate a repetitive naming sequence like Gain1,
Gain2, Gain3?
Can you tie a pin to a net without putting a net stub on the pin and
naming it?
In Layout:
Is it possible to select groups of parts a move them without constantly
switching between GROUP and MOVE? It seems that I should be able to move
parts around on the board without wearing my left hand out switching
between modes 1000 times.
In the same way, having to switch from ROUTE, RIPUP, and MOVE constantly
while manually routing just seems like a lot of extra work that the
computer could be doing for me. When I'm routing is there a way to
move, add, and delete routes without constantly banging out shortcuts?
Can you make a shortcut to switch from the top and bottom layers while
routing?
Thanks
Jay
