Automation

Zeo provides powerful automation features to streamline your workflow.

Scripting

Zeo supports Python scripting for automation:

import zeo

# Get the current schematic
schematic = zeo.get_current_schematic()

# Find all resistors
resistors = schematic.find_components("R*")

# Update values
for r in resistors:
    if r.value == "10k":
        r.value = "10K"  # Normalize notation

Batch Operations

Rename Components

Rename multiple components at once:

1. Select components
2. Right-click > Batch Rename
3. Enter pattern (e.g., R{n} for R1, R2, R3...)

Update Values

Update component values across the design:

1. Tools > Batch Update
2. Select component type
3. Enter find/replace values

Macros

Record and playback macros for repetitive tasks:

1. Tools > Record Macro
2. Perform actions
3. Tools > Stop Recording
4. Assign a keyboard shortcut

Scheduled Tasks

• Design rule checks on save
• BOM generation on export
• Version control commits
