Print ERC Results

e14 Contributor

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.

 

Many Thanks,

A SAVANTH

    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.

    Thanks Sven. I agree with Andreas on finding errors. If I had to choose between printing and locating the errors, I would prefer the latter. The problem is that with some legitimate errors, we can approve and move on. The end customers will need to be aware of the errors that have been over-ridden. So prints are necessary. May be Cadsoft can generate a duplicate text file of the ERC and DRC errors in the project directory.

    The ERC is WAYS, WAYS better now than previously, because it is an

    interactive window that takes you to all the errors immediately, so

    correcting them is a breeze. MUCH quicker and nicer than having to look

    through a text file and look up the grid coordinates yourself.

     

    The ONE thing that cannot be done easily anymore is printing, but I MUCH

    prefer being able to correct errors quickly to the printing capability

    (I never wanted to print it, anyway).

    running ERC opens a text window with the results. Its looks like any

    usual editor window with the possiblities of saving, printing etc.

     

    I do remember, that very long ago in an earlier eagle version this text

    window did not allow printing. Several users asked for this possibility

    and cadsoft added it.
