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.

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

The command generates the following text 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;
is given before.

When exporting a library, the actual grid unit is used.

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.
