Error running managed library ULP

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm trying to create a managed library by following the steps outlined in this autodesk video series - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Un_Z0kis6c

 

As a first step, I downloaded and ran the exp-lbrs-replace2.ulp to create a single library from all my components. It did this successfully however when I run the associated script it generates to link the items to this newly generated library, I get a ton of errors about duplicate pad names. One such example is below:

It then just fails completely and the components are not associated with the newly generated library. I'm trying to follow these steps to create a managed library and do the eagle <> fusion sync so any help would be great.

Hello,

 

I'm going to assume you are using a recent version of EAGLE, late v8 or v9. Don't download and use exp-lbrs-replace2.ulp, use the built in exp-lbrs.ulp which is also launched from File->Export->Libraries as this is a new version which incorporates all the functionality of the replace2 version, fixes issues relating to managed libraries and adds a new UI. Delete any libraries you may have already created with the old script and run this from the schematic and make sure you check the option to generate the replace script. Once it's done, make sure you are in the schematic again (not the library or the board) and run the newly created replace script. Make sure you run the replace script and not the intermediate script used to build the library itself.

 

I think your problems stem from a) using the wrong ULP as that video is a little out of date, b) running possibly the wrong script (maybe the one that builds the new library itself), or c) running the script from the wrong editor.

 

Best Regards,


Rachael
