How to measure distance accurately in PCB?

All my electronic components have positional constraints and I need a accurate way to place them on PCB.

(I an on EagleV7.2 Standard Edition)

    If your actual requirement is to accurately place components, the

    easiest way is to use to command line, for example:

     

       move SW1 (1.005 2.100);

     

    This allows placement with full precision independently of the current grid.

    or use the info dialog to manipulate the position after placement

    Firstly thank you for your answer,


    If I use the command line like you exemple, the components in my library should have the right "0-coordinate" in the center of it. Isn't it?

    Because I am not sure of the center definition of all my components

    then you will to have to verify the package in the library editor.

     

    In the board editor right-click on a part and select "open package".

    Now you can verify the coordinates of the pads using the info command.
