Eagle 8.6.3 generates sch diff instead of brd
Hello,
I've been trying out eagle-diff on Eagle 8.6.3 using on Xubuntu 16.04 (Xubuntu 16.04 Vagrant box) and experienced a funny issue.
I've used https://github.com/fxkr/eagle-diff/blob/master/test/diff-test.sh script and it runs correctly, first generates the schematic diff but when it comes to generating the brd it throws a bunch of popups about missing layers and that "RATNEST" and "RIPUP" commands can be only executed in design view. The thing is that what I see on screen is the correct window on top which is the board view.
After clicking through all of the popup windows I end up with diffs from schematic named as both sheet-* and layer-* diffs. Apparently Eagle doesn't use the proper context for exporting images but I'm not sure how to change that. Not really an expert on Eagle scripting and couldn't find a reference on it.
Did someone by chance experience a similar thing or know a way to fix it?
Sorry. I have not tested it with Eagle 8 yet, so it's quite possible that they changed something again in a way that breaks eagle-diff.

Actually it's working very well, only this was the one thing which needed a fix. The #30 seems to be doing the job
Thanks, that's good to know. No alignment issues in the generated diff images?
