Looping over wires with UL_BOARD.wires(..)

Question

Dear Eagle-Forum. I use EAGLE-Version 6.5.0 and I am trying to loop over all wires with a ULP: board(brd) {
 output( filedir(brd.name) + "wires.log", "wt") { 
 brd.wires(wr) { 
 printf("Wire: (%f, %f) - (%f, %f)
", u2mm(wr.x1), u2mm(wr.y1), u2mm(wr.x2), u2mm(wr.y2)); 
 } 
 } 
} If I look at the output in my testfile, it lists only the 4 dimension lines around my board. The routed wires on top an bottom layer are not listed there, although those are also UL_WIRE-objects. I was thinking that UL_BOARD.wires(..) loops over all wires, what am I missing here? Best, fsch

Best, fsch -- To view any images and attachments in this post, visit: http://www.element14.com/community/message/153234 Have a look at the HELP > Object hierarchy of a Board: You will see WIRES pertaining to the board. You will also see there are wires that pertain to Signals. polygons etc. You have to dig down to those levels to access the wires of those objects. HTH Warren

That function will only capture non signal wires. To list routed wires (signals), you need to go via brd.signal.wires as well. Also there are other wires, like polygons.
