Eagle - remember settings in grid option

miguelek.pl — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 10:07:45 GMT

Hi,

It's possible to add an option (grid settings) to remember through the program last chosen settings? I don't wanna click to the grid and chose "last". In EU we are using the metric measurement system and I like to work with on-grid. Every time when I open a new project, the settings back to "inch" and no grig visible witch makes me very nervous.

br, Michał

Hi @miguelek.pl,

I hope you're doing the well. You can setup your preferred grid settings in the eagle.scr file that way they stick. In that file under the SCH: heading add a line near the end of that section that reads:

GRID MM ON;

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hi Jorge,

Thx for quick reply.

Eagle.scr I found at: C:\EAGLE 9.5.2\examples\scripts\examples and add row like you wrote. Pls check printscreen. I didn't see any changes 😞

Hi @miguelek.pl, what @jorge_garcia has said is correct.

The forum isn't showing images as attachments. Can you add your screenshot inline in your message, please? If you can add a screenshot of your eagle.scr too that would help.

That's the wrong file. It's just an example. See this recent post by Jorge

Take out the line:

Grid default:

and replace it with:

Grid MM ON;

As @one-of-the-robs said the examples file is the wrong file. The one that is loaded is (if it's a default set up)

Documents/EAGLE/Scripts/eagle.scr

Please edit that one.

Hi,

Once I found the correct location of eagle.scr file, uncomment line "Grid default" and add a new line, save & exit - now is ok.

How to set up my grid size - 50mils? I tried to add a new line "Change Size 0.05in;" but it doesn't work.

Thank you for help.

br, Michał

GRID 0.05 in;

If you want it displayed in metric, you can put

grid 0.05 in;
grid mm on;
