What are some if your favorite/most used ULP’s (Eagle CAD)

I love to hear what I should check out…

I like the ones that convert Eagle designs to Pulsonix, so I don’t have to use Eagle. :smiley:

Alright…anyone else?

bom.ulp - Generates BOM

copy-silk-screen.ulp - good for making an editable silk layer for final tweaks

drill-aid.ulp - make the holes in pads much smaller, therefore easier and safer to drill for homemade PCBs

import-bmp.ulp - great for logos etc

normalize-text.ulp - because no parts ever have matching text sizes

silk_gen.ulp - makes sure silk is wide enough to be printed

teardrops2.ulp - messy (not reversible!) but fun to play with

Most used is the little thing I have that lets me implement “halve the grid size”/“double the grid size” buttons.

The ULPs that copy and modify the silkscreen (silk-new.ulp and etc) are pretty useful if you want to make a neat silkscreen. Dealing with all the different silkscreen pieces on all the multiple layers is comparatively painful!

I use exp-project-lib.ulp a lot to export all the components from a project to a library.

I use bom.ulp to generate CSV files for all the devices on a board.
