The script reads through Eagle backup files, renaming them and tweaking the colors so that when XORed, they show up as bright red areas in gerbv.
The resulting script works on any flavor of *nix, and should play nice in Windows under cygwin as well. Realizing that with some clever color selection, he could use gerbv to automatically highlight layout differences, he set off to automate the process. While using his favorite open-source gerber viewer gerbv, he noticed that the application let him load multiple copies of the same layer, XORing the PCBs’ colors together. This made hunting down changes quite tedious, so he started looking for a better way to do things. Even more frustrating to him is the fact that you can’t use Eagle to view two files simultaneously in order to compare layouts. Instructables user was particularly annoyed by the fact that while Eagle keeps copies of up to 10 revisions of your board, it cannot open those files without resorting to manually renaming each one.
enable-unit-mm : Change default unit in status bar to mm from inch.We all know that Eagle has its share of shortcomings. with-maxfiles : Set maximal number of files (default 20). enable-gtk2 : Compile with GTK+ 2 instead of GTK+ 1 disable-exportpng : Disable compilation of export of PNGs gerbv can do without getopt_long long options to the program will hence not be available (optional).ġ.
There are plenty of Eagle enhancement I can think of that free third party. Totally Totally Totally Agree re the 3rd party Gerber viewer. Its to check Eagle output, isnt it So it should be.
