connect-device-split-symbol.. do as written in help does not work

larsen
larsen over 13 years ago

Hello,

I have used make-symbol-device-package-bsdl.ulp and it seems to work, but the symbol is huge and I have to split it into smaller parts...with connect-device-split-symbol.ulp. I follow the manual for the ulp, but already at point 5 on page 1 I fail.

 

1. Create the Device with make-symbol-device-package-bsdl.ulp

2. Now edit the according symbol

3. Use GROUP and CUT in order to copy the part of the symbol which should be copied into

a new symbol (gate)

4. EDIT symbolname.SYM.

5. PASTE – places the pins in the new symbol ---> Fails with empty clipboard

6. load the original symbol again – EDIT symbolname....

 

A) When I in step 3: GROUP and type CUT, the traffic light turns green. When I in step 5 paste into the new symbol I get:  Clipboard empty.

Why does the clip board not persist from one symbol to the other as written in the manual?

 

I notice that my toolbox (icons to the left) is different from the one in the connect-device-split-symbol.ulp manual: It lacks the CUT tool (sizors), so in order to actually do step 3 I use the command line. But already here something seems wrong. I have checked and I am in symbol editing mode, at least the header says

Library - c:\Filepath\...\testlib.lbr (mySymbol.sym) -Eagle 6.2.0

 

B) When I do the CUT Command I would expect the selected parts actually being cut-away, as is customary, but they remain, as if I had made a COPY command. Well seems there is something wrong in the CUT command

 

I feel kind of stupid not to be able to get such a simple thing to work. I hope you can guide me.

 

regards

Henning

PS: Using Win 7/64b

    Ok - got it. image

     

    Need to left-click to get reference point before moving on from the CUT command. This detail is implicit in the manual instructions.

     

    CUT has been disabled by default in 6.2 because of the Windows confusion, but command-line CUT still works.

     

    Ok I may be treading into a wasps nest here - but what about naming the CUT command PICK instead. Picking better implies taking a reference as opposed to COPY.

    However, the fact that, what you PICK/CUT from - actually remains, is hard to imply with any of the verbs, but PICK at least does not clash with Windows terms.
