Script for selection of tracks.

Anonymous — Fri, 22 Jun 2018 20:21:46 GMT

Hello everyone, is it possible to make a script that selects all the tracks with a specific width of a layer?
that is, for example, in a layer have tracks of 7.12, etc, mils, and make a script that selects all the tracks of 7mils.
Greetings and I await your comments.

Hi eduardo.ulises,

I hope you are doing well upon receiving his response. Greatly appreciate posting your question on the Autodesk EAGLE forum. I don't have a SCRIPT to offer at this time, but you might want to consider using the Design Manager. Make sure you have the:

1- Signal Category selected

2- Select a signal from the Signal List

3- From the Items list, locate the layers on the specific layer and width. Click and drag to select all of them. Selected traces will highlight on the editor

4- On the command line type 'Change width 7' and press enter (assuming we are on a mil grid.)

5- Right Click on any of the highlighted traces and select the option Change:Group

Please keep us informed of your progress.

Best Regards,

Edwin

Hi,

I just wanted to add, that on step 2 you can select Multiple Signals, then continue to step 3.

Best Regards,

Edwin

Hi Edwin, thank you for your answer, I had not updated my Eagle, the design manager is very useful for what I need, what I was thinking is to highlight only the wide detarminated tracks.

Hi @Anonymous,

I hope you're doing well. You may want to check out the cmd-change-brd-width.ulp that comes with EAGLE, it basically searches for signals of a certain width and then changes the width of those signals. You could probably reuse that code for your application. You might also find the showclass.ulp a useful reference.

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

Best Regards,
