Libraries can be found at the Eagle libraries site
Installing the con-jst.lbr used for JST connectors. An alternative is the jst_xh_connectors_v1-0.zip by Ritmeester library

  2. mkdir /home/user/.local/share/eagle/lbr/useradded if this directory does not exist

    3. Click on Browse in the left middle of the window.
    4. A new window opens named Use

Snap to grid

See the general method above

Ohter snap to gird methods

  • Set the position via the context menu's (point on the object and click with the right mouse button) properties item of the object.
  • If an object does not snap to the grid and it is possible to remove the object it can be placed again and then it will snap to the grid
  • If you want to use a grid of 1.27 mm and the object is off grid. This is a labour intensive approach
    1. Move the object as close as you can to the desired position
    2. Mark the point on the screen where the object has to be moved to
    3. Set the grid to 0.01 mm
    4. Move the object.
    5. Set the grid back to 1,27 mm
    6. Check if the object is on the right position
    7. If necessary repeat the steps 2 until 6

A Bill of materials can be generated with the bom.ulp script found under the orange (tiooltip: “Run ULP”) icon
This did not work for us. We found bom-ex.ulp what did work.
