Welcome to the second post of the “Exploring Eagle CAD ULPs” series. Every week we will publish a new post about one useful ULP in Eagle CAD.
“ULP” User Language Program is a plain text file which is written in a C-like syntax and can be used to access the EAGLE data structures and to create a wide variety of output files. You can consider it like a plug-in for Eagle.

In this post we will discover “Un routed. ULP” by Daniel Mack. The job of this ULP is to zoom to the first un routed wire in the board editor. This might be helpful when searching for tiny leftover air wires especially in big boards.
When we use ‘rats nest in layout editor, a result with remaining air wires is shown in the bottom of the editor. Sometimes air wires are not visible to our eyes and need a lot of searching.
“Un routed. ULP” can zoom to un routed line and solve this problem for us.
You can see this ULP in action in the below GIF
