I want to place 10 LEDs every 1cm - that is each LED will have a distance of 1 cm between them in a straight line.

How do I do this placement in EAGLE ?


use command grid, change unit to mm and size to 10
place the components and change everythig back.

How can I flood fill the empty regions of the PCB with copper (after autorouting is done). This will expose less area to be etched and thus there will be a less consumption of etchant.

click "Polygon", type Gnd (or however your ground is named) if you want to have the copper area being connected to Gnd, choose an appropriate width > 0 (unless you want to bother your PCB manufacturer Wink ) and draw a frame around the board. You can see the plane after clicking "Ratsnest" - that's it

Hi!

I'm a rush, to convert some files from DXF format to Eagle. Can anybodey help me with advices? I tried ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/userfiles/misc/dxf2scr.zip but (maybe I'm wrong with the units? [inch,mil]) it doesnt succes the conversion Sad

I tried also the ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/userfiles/misc/eagle_power_tools_415a.exe Which is works Very Happy but it is just a limited demo, cuts down the board line number Crying or Very sad

Please help somehow!
Lot of thanks!

Hello everyone!

I'm using the freeware version of Eagle right now and i already consumed the maximum allowable dimension of a .brd file. I want to know how we can print multiple copies of one .brd file on same page.

Thanks a lot in advance guys!

This is called panelization. I do it by exporting the PCB to PS and then opening it up in Adobe Illustrator and laying out multiple copies

You can also copy and paste multiple copies of your PCB design into a new board file (Enable all layers prior to copying). This is a better method since you can also generate Drill file for the entire panel.

I actually don't know how to do that myself Sad

How do I do it ? Group and copy / paste does not seem to work !

group cut and paste

make this using a backup copy of .brd because you will lose consistency with the schematic

Select your entire board using Group, Cut it, Create a new board file and paste as many copies you want in this new file and save it with a different name.

Thank you guys for the support.

For my small circuits that does not consumed the entire space, i will definitely use the technique you guys suggested. Thanks a lot!

But the problem is i only have the light edition of eagle. So the board dimension is quite restrticted to 3 by 4 inches only, i think. Hence, my circuit has already occupied the entire space. Is there any other means we can solve this guys?

Hello All!

I would like to change the default grid size (the config file)under SCH editor.
Where could I find the configuration file, and which part have to edited?

The problem is: Eagle always forget the grid size, grid type settings at the SCH part, at new startup.

Thanx!

Hello!

I am using Eagle 4.11 and I would like to create a script to automatically get a printout of my schematics.

Unfortunately, my schematics are displayed on several sheets, and I cannot find a command that allows me to select Sheet number xx, print it with defined rotation/zoom options, then select next sheet, etc...

Is the "Print" dialog box the only possibility to select which sheet to print?

Thanks

When you click File->Print, a print option dialog is displayed in which you can choose which sheet(s) you want to print. Here you can also set the print scale factor, rotation etc.

I am currently building an 80mm x 100 mm board. I ned to cut a hole in the middle of it that is 35mm x 12 mm can anyone tell me how to do this. I have tried using the polygon and the rectangle using every restrict and stop layer. I have alos tried making a part to be the hole but none the less I when I press auot route it routes right through where I want to drill a hole.

Any help would be great thanks.

Polygon using the dimension layer (layer 20). The pcb manufacturer will cut this out.

Hi everyone!

A quest of mine: how could I write "Ω" in schematic, for the resistor value? It is urgent, not because of me, but silly non-electrical-interst-dilettante people!

You got the point of course, when you help me! Wink

Bye!

The only way IMHO is importing an image of the letter 'Omega'. BMP works pretty good.

Of course I know this trivial way. The problem is, I want to use 'Omega' in for instance resistor valvue field, you know. Bitmap useless for that.

Thanks, btw.

An other question guys!

How could somebody do orthogonal movement in Eagle layout? (like in orcad you know, restricted movment to X or Y direction)

The another quest is, how could I fix the grid spacing value in the schematic editor? Under windows. Maybe I have to overwrite some config files?

Thanx!

OK here's a question -- you know how there are Eagle discussions (newsgroups) at news.cadsoft.de? Requiring a newsreader like Thunderbird of course....

Do you know if there is there a mirror of them on the web somewhere? (e.g. news-to-mail gateway, such as Gmane.)

I can't believe in this day & age they don't have proper forums (like this) or at least something like Yahoo! Groups....

Thanks.

Hi!

Is there any way, to draw polygons, wires, etc. from the Eagle's ULP program? (instead from SCR)?

I calculate a polygon from ulp, and I want to draw it into eagle, thats the point.
Thanks!

Somebody pleaseeee! Neutral

Now I have the ULP code, just need to combine it with the script language.

Looks like Syntaxer's heart was in the right place but he's left the building. Wouldn't count on much help in this old thread. Probably better to start a new one with a new Eagle question. Also try news.cadsoft.de.
