CadSoft EAGLE 9.1.1 Crack
Scat Laboy
I want to use either ULP or certain menu function to select all vias with certain drill size, how do I do that? I've googled the solution but as what you often get with searching eagle related topics, unhelpful results populated the entirety of the first few pages.
In Altium Designer, all I have to do is to right click one single via of such variety, then select "find similar..." and go from there, but Eagle doesn't seem to have such a humble, down to earth function.
Please do not tell me to disable all other layers but the via layer and select my desired target using the selection tool, I have a large board with nearly 150 vias serving various purposes and discerning them with naked eyes will be an excruciatingly drudgerous task.
Eagle 9.0 and above has a feature that solves this problem, its called the "Design Manager". I had a board with over 600 vias when I realized those used to tie my ground planes together were large enough that they automatically removed stop-mask (exposing the copper). To fix the issue, first hide all layers but the via layer. Then go to the design manager, select the "Signals" tab, scroll to the name of the signal you want and select it. Doing this will select all vias of that signal and you can then apply the change tool as you would for any group of selected components. In my case, I used the change tool to decrease the drill size to a value below the threshold to automatically remove the stop-mask.
I agree with people who commented to your question that to automate the task you may need custom-built ULP. 150 vias is not a big number. I have bigger projects, and I recall I had to find specific vias, and did it successfully by hand. А journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
If you are really bothered by the issue, there's official EAGLE forum out there - post request in there, and they will (hopefully) build this functionality into new release, or maybe some expert from community will write needed ULP.
In Eagle, the "Dimension" layer represents the perimeter of your board. You can create a new board perimeter by drawing an enclosed shape using the WIRE command to draw a new enclosed polygon. When you draw your lines, you have the option of changing the wire bend to go straight and then arc (option 6 and 7). I used a width of 0 for the shape.
When you go to export the design, you can export the outline separately or on a existing layer. For example, BatchPCB suggests adding the outline to the silkscreen layer, or having a separate outline gerber.
You will need to send the fab house a gerber file of the board outline. It is in this layer that you will want the rounded corners. You might want to see if you can place a rectangle with rounded corners or change an existing rectangle to have rounded corners. I am not sure of the specifics of this in eagle, maybe someone else can help.
I am soldering a big circuit with many tiny resistors (almost all of them are 0402 in size). The circuit was too dense to put a proper silk screen in place. I'm afraid to make errors, for example soldering a 100k resistor on the spot where a 1k resistor should be.
While soldering, I look at the eagle *.brd file on my computer screen - so I know where to solder what. But I miss something... I would like to highlight all 100k resistors (or other values) at once. That would make my life soooo much easier now
Kudos are much appreciated if the information I have shared is helpful to you and/or others.
Did this resolve your issue? Please accept it "As a Solution" so others may benefit from it.
Great idea to add that post with the detailed instructions! Unfortunately you seem to have made a typo (or a copy-paste error) and duplicated the existing "PCB Service" instead of adding your new button. Oops!
Unfortunately there is a timeout beyond which you can no longer edit your own posts. Maybe @jorge_garcia would be able to ask one of the moderators to correct your post for you if you can supply the info for the change.
That error report is of a syntax error on the very first line of the file. This is usually a result of whatever browser you used corrupting the file. Quite often, it's a case of "oh, this is a Windows 10 box, therefore I'll helpfully change this plain text file to a UCS-2 with binary tag format", which breaks things in far more than just Eagle. The fix, in that case, is to load the file into a UCS-2 aware editor such as Notepad++ and re-save as ASCII (or UTF-8 if there are accented characters in it).
Generally speaking, Eagle polygons are not zones in the way Kicad polygons are, so pullbacks/clearances around their perimeters in kicad may also differ to those in native Eagle representations, and via clearances may not convert simply.
I at least abbreviate that you sometimes point to it. At lest when it has a feature that is kind of missing in kicad. (It is open source which means anybody can take that part of the code and create an eagle importer with it for any other system. Assuming the licenses of both projects are compatible.)
The Eagle binary tree -> XML tree conversion code is GPL v2.0, and there are only a few additional 24 byte binary block types used for the schematics over and above the binary block types used for layouts, since they share wire, arc, rectangle, circle, text and similar geometric block types and populate the same basic binary tree structure.
Most of the framework is there if someone wants to effect a stand alone conversion utility in C for layouts, libraries and/or with a bit of extra effort, schematics. I may have a go at adding the code for schematics in due course, but my primary focus was unlocking the many amateur radio open hardware PCB designs floating around in binary format.
You ask a good question. It is fundamentally about the principal. People have contributed libraries and designs to the community in Eagle formats in good faith over the years which are now at imminent risk of being fenced off behind restrictive and user unfriendly licence changes.
Any given design or library only needs to be converted once into an open format and shared, after which everyone in the FOSS community wins; so, a bit of my time coding gets multiplied into many open designs that remain accessible by many, long term, well after Autodesk does whatever it wants to do. Sounds good to me.
I found this bug when I try to solve the Eagle Bug 2. The solution was to change the layer from one to another. I used a temporary layer which I added via the layer settings. Sometime there are some wires more necessary to have a nicer finish. I demonstrate this in the following video.
Later, when i made the layout, I rotate the device. The problem is, that I used the text function to add this character to the package. The result is a that the position is then not always the same and can even lay on a pad. Sadly I changed the package already, so I can't make an example video.
Since I need a lot of functions very often, it is very handy to have shortcuts. Per default, eagle has some, but there are not good placed. But eagle allows to change them very easy. But attention: these shortcuts are saved in the eaglerc file, which contains all current settings you made. This file is read at the start of eagle too.
The icons for the button must be placed in the bin folder of the eagle installation path. The button itself are part of the eagle.scr. This is the default eagle script file, which is used when eagle starts.
Since so many years I used to the old Icons. So I was surprised that Cadsoft changed them. But sadly, the new Icons look not good. I don't think they give the user the right message what kind of function is behind the buttons. Of course, there are still the tool tips when you move the mouse over a button.
Over the time I use eagle many things are complicated. There are things I don't like in the User Interface. But luckily you can customize the UI a little bit. Sadly, it is not really easy, because you need to edit a script if you want to have additionally buttons. I also need to make my own Images for the buttons.
Lets start with the Folder. I like to use my own project folder "workspace" where I always have my currently working projects. These can be a lot. It is easy to change the path. Open the Control Panel, then click on the menu Options, then Folder (or Directories).
I have a special folder for my libraries, because I don't want to mix them with the original one. The directory which is first in a line will also displayed first in the control panel. Because I often need access to my libraries this is very helpful.
