Hello there!
This is my first post in this beloved forum. I hope there will be next ones too!
I am working on a PCB project in Eagle and among many other things (working in the PCB design window) I would like to align a group of objects into the grid.
I know how this works in case of a single component (select MOVE and Ctrl+LeftMouse on the component origin) but I have no clue on how to make it work in case of a Group of components.
It could be convenient for me, also, if the solution included a typed command.
Thanks

Check out some of the ‘snap’ ULPs ( http://www.cadsoftusa.com/downloads/ulps ) - should be one in there that does what you want. If not, I can poke at one to modify it.
Edit: both snap.ulp and snap2grid.ulp do what you want. snap.ulp has a more comfortable user interface and allows you to snap just the grouped objects or all objects in view, as well as traces. snap2grid.ulp has as a benefit (depending on needs) that it will report the current and the new object positions as well as the actual commands executed. Both can be executed from the CLI.
That sounds great! I will try one of these and get back to you!!
Thanks a lot!
