EXPORT

Function

Generation of data files.

Syntax

EXPORT SCRIPT filename;
EXPORT NETLIST filename;
EXPORT NETSCRIPT filename;
EXPORT PARTLIST filename;
EXPORT PINLIST filename;
EXPORT DIRECTORY filename;
EXPORT IMAGE filename|CLIPBOARD [MONOCHROME] resolution;

The EXPORT command is used to provide you with ASCII text files which can be used e.g. to transfer data from EAGLE to other programs, or to generate an image file from the current drawing.

By default the output file is written into the Project directory as defined in the directories dialog.

The command generates the following output files:

SCRIPT

A library previously opened with the OPEN command will be output as a script file. When a library has been exported and is to be imported again with the SCRIPT command, a new library should be opened in order to avoid duplication - e.g. the same symbol is defined more than once. Reading script files can be accelerated if the command

Set Undo_Log Off;

NETLIST

Generates a netlist for the loaded schematic or board. Only nets which are connected to elements are listed.

NETSCRIPT

Generates a netlist for the loaded schematic in the form of a script file. This file can be used to read a new or changed netlist into a board where elements have already been placed or a previously routed track have been deleted with DELETE SIGNALS.

PARTLIST

Generates a component list for schematics or boards. Only elements with pins/pads are included.

PINLIST

Generates a list with pads and pins, containing the pin directions and the names of the nets connected to the pins.

DIRECTORY

Lists the directory of the currently opened library.

IMAGE

Exporting an IMAGE generates an image file with a format corresponding to the given filename extension. The following image formats are available:

.bmp	Windows Bitmap Files
.png	Portable Network Graphics Files
.pbm	Portable Bitmap Files
.pgm	Portable Grayscale Bitmap Files
.ppm	Portable Pixelmap Files
.tif	TIFF Files
.xbm	X Bitmap Files
.xpm	X Pixmap Files

The resolution parameter defines the image resolution (in 'dpi').

If filename is the special name CLIPBOARD (upper or lowercase doesn't matter) the image will be copied into the system's clipboard.

The optional keyword MONOCHROME creates a black&white image.
