Re: How do I assign classes using a script?

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 17 years ago

I can create a script file to create a list of net classes for me, but

is there a way to use a script file to automatically assign classes to

named nets?

 

For example:

 

grid mil 50

class 0 default  8  7 16   #  8 mil width,  7 mil space, 16 mil drill

class 1 power   32 12 16

class 2 clock    8 15 16

class 3 hv      12 32 16

class 4 rf      16 40 16

ch class 1 'vcc' 'gnd'     # This doesn't work!  Is there a way to do

this?

 

When Eagle reaches the last line it barfs, giving: Unknown Net Class '1

VCC'

 

The reason I want this is that I export net lists from OrCAD, and I

haven't found an automated way of exporting net classes with the

netlist.  I'd rather not have to type 'ch class n' then manually wander

around the board clicking the nets I'd like to be in each class.

 

Can I use the set or net commands to do it?  I didn't see anything in

the help files that indicated I can, and I've yet to discover

undocumented capabilities associated with commands.

 

Anyone?  Is there a way to assign classes to nets in the layout editor from

a script file, or is there a ULP that can do it?

    No sorry, you can't use the Change class command with net names.

    It is possible to use the change command with x/y coordinates,

    but this is not very practicable in a script file.
