Cadsoft EagleCAD Tutorial - Crucial Routing

[tuulispaa57]

thanks for introducing me into secrets of eagle. i can now somewhat use it. but i can not find any quad comparator (like LM339) on comp list?? or i destroyed it by 'drop'command' ... any one can help??

Thanks for the video series! I have a question for you: Is the name GND critical for the copper pours? Is that name the key to making the ground pads on each layer connect to that pour?

Also, does Eagle let you know if a single polygon created a two ground plane sections on a single layer that aren't connected to one another?

@rainbowsalads - mil = 1/1000 inch. mil is historically a thousandth, as in a millimeter is a thousandth of a meter, a mil is a thousandth of an inch.

hi , can we print off our designs at home on a laserjet and make a pcb somehow?

What do the border lines signify, and why would you need to change them? Thats the only part that didn't make sense to me.

@dlmarti This might be a case of being anal on my part, but when I lay down ground planes, I like them to cover the board as much as possible, on both sides. In this case, if you go back and watch that part, you will notice that when I first lay the planes down, one or two of the traces on the left edge extend past the edge of the plane. After I make the "distance" change in DRC, the plane extends far enough to cover over/around the trace. Just a rule of thumb that I follow.

@rpcelectronics how can that border be 10 mil ? 10 millimetre? it looks like 1 mm relative the battery and reg.

[rainbowsalads]

@rainbowsalads I found that a mil is a milling size not a millimetre : )

1 mil = 0.0254 millimetres
