[SOLVED] New to eagle..small question

[Darkcrusher]

Hi how can I substract the rectangle from the loop in eagle layout? (see picture)

I give away points for good reply..

I don't understand the question :? Is that part of a symbol or schematic, part or PCB layout?

it is a layout, I want to draw a pcb disc coil with a gap. But there is a problem, eagle draws the 360 degree full circle. I want the 359.99 degree one: a split ring:

Then draw an arc, not a circle.

Seems reasonable, but thats the prob... I dont like the arc in eagle, the ends are rounded...

 

[keith1200rs]

Select the square end option on the arc.

I dont know what you mean but I found that this helped:

"change"->"Cap"->"Flat"



Thank you for your time.

Cheers

When you select "arc", at the top of the screen you should see icons for layer, width, rotation direction and two others. They select the straight or rounded end.

I have never used "arc cap" but looking it up, it is just doing the same thing from the command line.

I did not notice the parameter toolbar since it apparently was turned off. Thx again
