The only issues I have had are creating parts and wishing I had a protractor and ruler tool so I can lay out traces for say, antennas.

Dear Kenneth,

are you trying to refer that you are trying to trace the antenna path once you have completed your routing ?

Correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah - that would be correct. I would like to get my angles and lengths correct. Unless I have missed something all these years. =/

Hi,

well what I did last time is to print out the layout using color printer and trace out accordingly. It will be kind of primitive method.

Should be easy to write an ULP that dumps all trace-lengths.. But an UI element inside eagle would be nice aswell. Like one button "set start point", and as you then move the mouse cursor, it snaps to points on the relevant trace and displays distance, and calculated ohm, etc.
