IDF files and libraries

Hi Warren,

reading the ulp header, i got the 2.2 version coming with my eagle 7.3

version.

I don't see in the file any option or configuration concerning the keepout.

Do you have more information?

Maybe I can contact the author Marc Battistello.

Hi Vincent,

The latest version is 2.4 which comes with EAGLE 7.5.0. I don't see any

comments about it being implemented in that version so it looks like

being able to ignore features on the keep out layers is still on the

todo list.

Hi Warren,

this is what I though.

So if I Want a quite accurate PCB 3D model, I have to limit all useless

wires and so on.

 

My problem is that it also take all polygon, rectangles wires, in the

Keepout layer. I don't think it is a good idea, because only the body

(tPlace layer on maybe tDocu) and the pins should be in the IDF package

don't you think?

 

Thanks for your answer.

Hi Vincent,

 

The most recent version of the ULP gives you the option to ignore

features on the keepout layers if I recall correctly.

Hi support,

I'm currently testing the IDF export tool in Eagle 7.3.

I have some question concerning the component dimensions.

I know that I have to add a HEIGHT attribute for each component. But I

can't find which layer is used in the package to determine the width and

length of the component.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Looking within the ULP eagleidfexporter.ulp

The ULP looks at all the wires, arcs, circles, polygons,

holes,rectangles in the package.

 

//check min/ax for each of

//circles() UL_CIRCLE - C.x, C.y, C.radius, C.width)

//holes() UL_HOLE

//polygons() UL_POLYGON -> wires()

//rectangles() UL_RECTANGLE - R.x1, R.y1, R.x2, R.y2);

//wires() UL_WIRE

 

The layer is not important as it scoops up all of the above objects no

matter which layer they are on.

 

The resulting width and length is a rectangle deduced from the above

min x max y (top left)

to

max X min Y (Bottom right)
