Print ERC Results

Element 14 User wrote on Wed, 02 November 2011 08:21

Hi,

Is it possible to some how get a text or formatted print of the ERC

results. Some legitimate ERC warnings need to be documented. I do not see

any menu that allows me to do that. Please help.

There is no way to do that currently.  Same for DRC errors.  Nor is there

any way that I know of to get to them using the ULP language.  I've put the

request in before that these lists of errors/warnings be able to be saved

out to file.

I cannot speak for Version 4 or 5, but with Eagle 3.53 you can print the

result of ERC.

Using screenshots is a work-around. But difficult to use. I can't believe it was in 3.53 and they decided to take that out for 4 & 5.  Sven, Can you please describe how you were printing it out in version 3.53? May be the method still works.

Yes. This is because in version 3.x, the ERC just produces a TEXT file.

This can easily be printed, but is REALLY a pain somewhere if you want

to FIND the errors on screen to correct them.

In versions >=4, the ERC has a NICE window on its own, and you can

easily jump to the error location with a mouse click. MUCH better than

before! But on the other hand, you cannot directly print its output

anymore...
