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.

     

    I habitually do something very similar, though rather than a spreadsheet

    I tend to use a python script to generate the Eagle script. I'm

    gradually getting more proficient with Eagle ULP, too, which is dead

    handy for custom tasks such as generating a pin-out list for all the

    connectors on the board. The semi-automated generation of sticky labels

    for the components being sent to the board house uses a hairy mix of

    ULP, Python, a bit of hand fiddling, and OpenOffice Writer.
