Eagle Scripts

autodeskguest

Hello,

        I was wondering how much designers rely on scripts while doing

schematics or boards in eagle. Do you use scripts for some routine tasks

which would simpify the schematic capture or board layout? Which ones are

those?

    I will use a spread sheet to generate the x,y locations when building a

    part from the data sheet. Use that data and make a script then run it,

    check the output, modify the script and repeat until it is what I want.

     

    They are essential for me.  The user community has provided many ULPs in

    the download area that make me more efficient.

     

    I use ULPs and scripts to do renumbering, export layouts to Protel, and

    add some frequently used AutoCad-like functions such as Offset and

    Fillet.  I use scripts to automate sequences of commands and settings

    (such as exporting images of layouts using particular colour settings).

     

    I also use Excel to calculate and visualise data then create Eagle

    scripts.  I've used it to create scripts to draw sine waves to add info

    to schematics, and to make a "veroboard" like layout.

     

    Cheers
