ASCII export ALL pcb information

autodeskguest

I see ulps for netlists, but our vendor wants a complete ASCII file  like a

PADS ASCII file that contains All the pcb information.  Is there a ulp or

anyway to create this file in Eagle 4.16?

    I've been through all of the .ulp files online and found nothing to export a

    complete ASCII file.  I can't believe there isn't anything.  Most vendors we

    work with need this.

     

    I fear we are talking about completely different things.

     

    No board house needs any ASCII file containing the complete design.

    They only need the complete gerber files for PCB production. These are

    generated by the CAM processor.

     

    No parts vendor needs any ASCII file containing the complete design.

    They only need a complete part list. You can generate them with the

    EXPORT command, or (more comfortably) with some ULPs.

     

    No assembly house needs any ASCII file containing the complete design.

    They only need the parts plan (silk screen) and the part list, plus

    eventually some additional detail information that is not contained in

    the design anyway. You can even generate complete pick&place programs

    for automated SMD assembly by ULP.

     

    No customer of a design contract needs any ASCII file containing the

    complete design. They are lucky with the original EAGLE design files.

     

    So can you explain for what you need a "complete ASCII file", and what

    exactly you expect from this file?

     

    BTW, please don't top-post. Please read and understand
