generate_3d_data.ulp broken in Eagle 6

bvwj

generate_3d_data.ulp uses line widths for 3d component height information.  The ulp code doesn't use u2mm in it's height calculation, so all the component and board heights are off by a factor of 32.  The fix is only two lines of code in the getPartHeight subroutine.  I have verified it works if the u2mm is used and the units are adjusted appropriatly.

 

Should the downloadable ulp source be fixed?

    I would contact the author of that ULP (out of courtesy) if he is

    going to fix it or if he is ok with you uploading the fixed version.

     

    On the other hand, the changes to V0.8 where allready provided by some

    other person.

    I didnt't mean to say the bug you reported was fixed in v0.8.

     

    What I meant is that v0.8 was allready posted by someone other than

    the original author.
