How to search in schema tic?

I have a (system on a) module with 200 pins.

In the library, I divided these pins over 7 symbols in the device.

Those symbols are all in different schematic sheets. There are 15 sheets

so it's impossible to remember where is what.

 

Sometimes I need to find a certain pin of this module but I don't remember

on

which sheet it is.

My question is, is there a way to find out? I tried "run find" but it

doesn't offer what I'm looking for.

I use "run find pad " if you know the symbol pin

name, but you also have to include an optional hidden @ extension in

this name. Maybe the find ulp should be modified to ignore this extension.

I use "run find pad <padname>".

That doesn't work for me:

/data/novazembla/Eagle-660/ulp/find.ulp(1138):

Multiple contacts on pin, use contacts() instead

You can also use "run find pin <pinname>" if you know the symbol pin

name,

I don't know that, that's the problem.

Also, it's impossible for an algorithm to find the right pin if you don't

provide

at least two parameters. How else to solve the problem when two instances

have the same pad name?

Anyway, it's solved now, my new ulp works fine.

Thanks to everybody for helping.

Ah! I remember that bug. It should have been fixed in lastest beta, but

if you look back in some old posts (by me), the bugfix to the find.ulp

script is posted there.

The problem was the ulp was not updated after eagle started to support

symbols with merged pads.

Just to help you out, this was posted back in April, after initially

pointing at the bug in Dec 2015.

Since this is a very easy fix and hasnt been fixed on 7.5.3 beta, I will

help you:

On line 1138,1139 of the original find.ulp:

1138:if (P.contact) {

1139:if (P.contact.name == Find) {

Replace this with:

1138:P.contacts(C) {

1139:if (C.name == Find) {

And this will work also with symbols having multiple pads assigned to a pin.
