Pin numbers in Schematics

autodeskguest

Hi, Can anyone throw some light on how I can get the components' Pin Number

(not name) for a NET from within a ULP?

I've looked at the object definitions in the Help pages, but pin numbers

are not mentioned at all.

    Thanks for swift reply. Maybe I should have said that I've downloaded the

    netlist_protel_ulp, but it outputs pin names, and protel requires pin

    numbers... I want to modify the code so it works correctly.

     

    Maybe it's just a question of nomenclature...

     

    The information you are looking for is called the "pad name" in EAGLE.

    It should be possible to get the associated package from the schematic

    device, then access its pads and then their names.

     

    In many (most of the) cases the pad names are numerical. However, you

    should think about what to do when they are not, if Protel really needs

    numbers there...
