# EAGLE Commands for `fusion_electron_run`

> **Owned by the `adom-desktop-fusion-bridge` skill package.** This reference is Fusion-Electronics
> specific, so it ships here (you get it via `adom-wiki pkg install adom/adom-desktop-fusion-bridge`),
> not the adom-desktop core package. Companion skill: `fusion-electronics` (driving the editor).

Fusion's Electronics workspace is built on EAGLE. `fusion_electron_run` sends a text command through the same interface EAGLE's command line uses.

## ⚠️ Fire-and-forget — no output returned

`fusion_electron_run` never returns EAGLE's stdout. It returns `activeWorkspace`, a diff of Fusion's internal operation log (`fusionOperations[]`), and an `_hint` field. **For data, use `fusion_board_info` / `fusion_schematic_info` instead.**

## 🚫 Never use these (blocking / modal)

These commands open modal prompts EAGLE waits on forever. Your call will hang until it times out.

| Command | Why it blocks | Use instead |
|---|---|---|
| `ADD` | Prompts for component placement | Edit source .sch/.brd via import commands |
| `SHOW` | Opens an info dialog | `fusion_board_info`, `fusion_schematic_info` |
| `MOVE` | Interactive picker | Edit source files offline |
| `CHANGE` (interactive form) | Picker for target object | Use with explicit object: `CHANGE WIDTH 0.3 (1 2)` is OK |
| `WRITE` | Cloud: opens "Version Description" dialog even with path arg (tested 2026-04-10). Local: opens Save As. | `fusion_save_to_cloud`, `fusion_export_source`, `fusion_export_eagle_source` |
| `EDIT` | Opens library/sheet editor | Open target directly |

## ✅ Popular commands (verified working)

### View control

| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| `WINDOW FIT` | Zoom to fit entire board/schematic |
| `WINDOW SELECT` | Zoom to current selection |
| `DISPLAY ALL` | Turn on all layers |
| `DISPLAY NONE` | Turn off all layers (chain with specific layers) |
| `DISPLAY NONE; DISPLAY 1 17 18` | Top copper + pads + vias only |
| `GRID MM 1` | Set grid to 1 mm |
| `GRID INCH 0.05` | Set grid to 50 mil |
| `GRID ON` / `GRID OFF` | Toggle grid visibility |
| `LAYER 1` | Switch active layer to top copper |
| `LAYER 16` | Switch active layer to bottom copper |

### Layers reference (EAGLE standard)

| Layer | Name | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Top | Top copper |
| 16 | Bottom | Bottom copper |
| 17 | Pads | Through-hole pads |
| 18 | Vias | Vias |
| 19 | Unrouted | Airwires / ratsnest |
| 20 | Dimension | Board outline ⚠️ required for 3D view |
| 21 | tPlace | Top silkscreen |
| 22 | bPlace | Bottom silkscreen |
| 25 | tNames | Top reference designators |
| 27 | tValues | Top component values |
| 29 | tStop | Top soldermask |
| 31 | tCream | Top paste mask |
| 44 | Drills | Plated drills |
| 45 | Holes | Non-plated holes |
| 51 | tDocu | Top documentation |

### Routing

| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| `RATSNEST` | Recalculate airwires (safe, always non-blocking) |
| `RIPUP ;` | Rip up **all** routed traces (destructive) |
| `RIPUP GND` | Rip up only nets named GND |
| `AUTO ;` | Run autorouter with current DRU settings |

### Design checks

| Command | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `DRC` | Run design rule check | Non-blocking; read results via `fusion_board_info` |
| `ERC` | Run electrical rule check (schematic) | |
| `ERRORS` | Show current error list | Reads into fusionOperations log |

### Edit (non-interactive forms only)

| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| `NAME U1 MCU` | Rename part U1 to MCU |
| `VALUE R1 10k` | Set R1's value to 10k |
| `ROTATE =R90 U1` | Rotate U1 by 90° absolute |
| `SMASH U1` | Detach name/value labels from U1 so they can be moved |
| `GROUP ALL` | Select everything |

### File / script / export

| Command | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `SCRIPT /path/to/file.scr` | Run an EAGLE script file | Batches multiple commands; still fire-and-forget |
| `EXPORT IMAGE /path/to/out.png 300` | Export bitmap at 300 DPI | Prefer `fusion_export_*` commands |

**For source file export, do NOT use EAGLE's WRITE command.** Use the Adom commands instead:

| Adom command | Output format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `fusion_export_eagle_source {"outputPath":"C:/out/X.brd"}` | Plain EAGLE XML (.sch / .brd) | Extracts from Fusion's ZIP container. Parseable by standalone EAGLE, KiCad import, or any XML tool. |
| `fusion_export_source {"outputPath":"C:/out/X.fbrd"}` | Fusion-wrapped ZIP (.fsch / .fbrd / .flbr) | Contains the EAGLE XML inside a ZIP with metadata + preview PNGs. |

Workflow for both:
1. Open the .fprj: `fusion_open_cloud_file {projectName, fileName, fileExtension:"fprj", folderPath}`
2. Board export: `fusion_show_2d_board` → export with .brd/.fbrd extension
3. Schematic export: `fusion_electron_run {"command":"EDIT .s1"}` → export with .sch/.fsch extension

### Info (read-only, but prefer structured equivalents)

| Command | Prefer instead |
|---|---|
| `INFO U1` | `fusion_board_info` → components[] |
| `SHOW GND` | `fusion_board_info` → nets[] |

## Chaining

EAGLE supports semicolon-separated command chains in a single call:

```
fusion_electron_run {"command": "DISPLAY NONE; DISPLAY 1 17 18; WINDOW FIT"}
```

Each step runs in order. If any step would block, the whole chain hangs — keep chains to view/ratsnest/display commands only.

## Verified working (with dates)

- **2026-04-10**: `WINDOW FIT`, `DISPLAY ALL`, `RATSNEST`, `DRC` — confirmed non-blocking in Fusion 2026.
- **2026-04-10**: `WRITE <path>` — **BLOCKS** on cloud docs (opens "Version Description" dialog). Use `fusion_export_eagle_source` instead.
- **2026-04-10**: `fusion_export_eagle_source` — confirmed working: extracts plain EAGLE XML (.sch/.brd) from .fsch/.fbrd ZIP containers. Tested on THRU Mid-Signal VNA DUT: .brd=111KB, .sch=73KB.

When you verify a new command works, add it here with the date so future sessions know it's safe.
