I am looking to find a IDF modler for eagle pcbs. This would be used in
conjuction with add on's to Solidworks to make a 3D modle of the circuit
board so that it can be imported into mechanical models. Does anyone know
if there is such an option, like a ULP or other that could do this? Does
any one know if this might be something that can be incorporated into future
versions of Eagle?
Thanks

Hi,

I hope I'm missing something,but Whenever I zoom in or out on
a board it would be nice to know of the scale I looking at. For example
If the board is 100% or 150% and so on. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks. Charlie

I have a mill on the way this coming week and have been reading a lot about
milling the pcb. I have been looking at pcb-gcode by John Johnson, I
haven't quite nailed the process yet, but was hoping that someone else maybe
has already gone through this and could give an opinion on JJ or other
system for milling the boards. Is there any other easier system? Thanks

Gary Nutbeam

We create a new schematic. We place two components, each on it's own sheet.
Then we create a netlist file and run the script just to connect 3 pins on
a connector on sheet 1 to three gpio pins on a processor on sheet 2. We get
errors and no pins connected.

Even doing the above and manually connecting the pins, exporting the
netlist, deleting the nets, and running the netlist on the same schematic
using cmd-netlist2sch.ulp doesn't work!

Can we place components on a schematic consisting of several sheets, create
a netlist to connect pins using the cmd-netlist2sch.ulp program?

Is there a format specification document for an Eagle netlist? We can't find
one in the user documentation and typing in the same exported netlist into
a new file causes the error of it not being an Eagle Netscript when running
it.

We are having no luck at all using netlists.

We're using the Professional version 4.16 on Linux RHEL 3.

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

I am using a voltage regulator in an LLP-16 package from National Semi.
Application Note AN-1187 recommends using "Thermal Vias" placed directly in

understand "barrel plating", "plug the via" and "tented"

Thanks

rgrace@attentiontechnology.com

"An array of vias with a 1.27 mm pitch is shown in Figure 6. The via
diameter should be 0.2 mm to 0.33 mm with 1oz. copper via barrel plating. It
is important to plug the via to avoid any solder wicking inside the via
during the soldering process. The thermal vias can be tented with solder
mask on the top surface of the PCB. The solder mask diameter should be at
least 75 microns (or 3 mils) larger than the via diameter. The solder mask
thickness should be the same accross the entire PCB."

This problem is not a major one, but is an annoyance.
If I choose a wider Class for GND, when I draw a GND polygon using a
narrower line than that specified for the Class, I get DRC "width"
errors. I don't like drawing with wide lines, as it is harder to
achieve suitable clearances, and once the polygon is filled in, the
effective width is much greater than the Class requires, so the error
is a spurious one.
Any comments anyone ?

Hello,

It happens that I want to make a variant of an existing symbol or footprint
in my own library and where it would be great if I could start from a copy
of an existing symbol/footprint.

So far I have not been able to figure out how to make a copy of an existing
symbol/footprint with a different name within the same library. Therefore, I
use "Cut" & "Paste", i.e. open the existing symbol, select everything, use
"Cut", open a new symbol and "Paste".

This works, but it's a bit cumbersome. Anyone knows how to make copies of
existing symbols/footprints within the same library but with a different
name of course?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a solution to convert gerber or DXF files into an eagle
script.
I know there are tools available, but only one works propperly ( eagle power
tools ), but according to my opinion the price for such tools is way too
high.

Does anyone knows how to do this?
The tools listed on cadsoft work neither.

You may want to send a working script or tool to: gtekprog@hotmail.com

Hello Folks,

Since layouts are often done out of house and many layouters in the US
are using PowerPCB (by Mentor), is there any way to hand a netlist from
Eagle schematics over to the layouter that would load into PowerPCB?

Ideal would be if the whole schematic would be transferable but I do not
have much hope that this whole EDIF stuff will ever reach that kind of
sophistication.

I'm a novice in Eagle and I need to put a SSIP 32 pin package on a board.
I looked at the library and I noticed it wasn't there (I searched for
"SSIP" in every field), so I designed and saved it. When loading back
via the Open... command, I get error 292. It says that the file could be
damaged or made with an illegal copy of Eagle, but I have the free
version (legal).

Do you know where I could find a library with that package or how to
solve the problem?

Just in case, this is how I created that package:
Library->Package->entered name-> ok->simple design: 4 lines, 32 pads, 32
holes->save as...
And then: open...->choose the file-> got the error.

I'm using Mac OS X.

Thanks to anyone who'll help me.

I attach the file.

Just started learning Eagle, and Find I need to create a new device, package
and symbol for a board using a TLV320AIC26IRHB from Texas Instrumets. After
searching for too long for a premade device/symbol AND the package (QFN32),
I started to make my own library. Unfortuneatly I can't figure out how to
correctly create the QFN32 package, its a 5x5mm QFP package with no leads
(pads underneath).

If someone has a QFN32 package already built, or could help me with building
it myself, please let me know, I've been working on this a little too long.

Can anyone explain the correct process of drill selection. Seems this is an
important part of PC Board manufacturing, but Eagle seems to intentionally
automate or hide this part of the design.

I'm confused by the facts that the board manufacturers seem to want a grid
in inches, but the parts in DigiKey catalog usually are in metric, while the
eagle parts library has euro and us spec, but the library rarely lists drill
diameters in the notes for each part.

I figured out how to show the drill layer with the drill size symbols. And
I figure as long as the parts fit in the holes and aren't too large to drill
out the pad, things should be fine.

Any comments appreciated.

Hello all,

Is there a way to set up Eagle to beep when a DRC error is encountered
during manual routing? For example, if a trace belonging to one net were
to cross over a trace belonging to another net, the system would immediately
beep to notify the user that traces of different nets can't be shorted
together.

I know that the normal DRC would catch this error,
but it would be nice to know during the manual routing
process. Some other CAD packages do have this feature.

Thanks,

I have tried the "Drillinfo" ULP on three boards I am currently
working on, and seem to get an incorrect count for the number of drill
of a particular size. It is almost as if the list of drill sizes and
the list of numbers of drills is inverted with respect to one another.
I haven't done a detailed check, but a list such as:

Drill Config:
T01 0.028in (4 Drills)
T02 0.035in (111 Drills)
T03 0.039in (80 Drills)
T04 0.043in (5 Drills)
T05 0.083in (4 Drills)
T06 0.130in (56 Drills)
Total Drill Count: 260

is obviously wrong, when it tells me I have 56 holes of 0.13 inches
diameter ! In fact there are just 4 such holes (mounting holes for
the board). I would also assume that there are many more than 4 holes
of size 0.028 inches diameter.
Has anyone come across this problem before ?

Also, the list of non-standard drills is confusing:

LED1 (john-lib/20MM-LED): (127000 139700), drill=7000 (27.6 mil)
LED1 (john-lib/20MM-LED): (127000 114300), drill=7000 (27.6 mil)
| | | | |
LED6 (john-lib/20MM-LED): (1460500 139700), drill=7000 (27.6 mil)
LED6 (john-lib/20MM-LED): (1460500 114300), drill=7000 (27.6 mil)

These are holes in the pads for this component, and when I look at the
part in the library, it tells me that the drill diameter in the pads
is 0.028 inches. I built that library part, and used the 0.028 inch
drill from the standard list installed via "eagle.scr". So where does
that strange drill size come from ?

Wasn't sure if this should be here, or in SUPPORT forum, since this
utility is not part of the official Eagle, just the download collection.

I used this ULP for the first time, and found it to be extremely useful to
verify trace amp capacity, before manufacturing a board.
However, there is one very annoying thing about it. Every time this ULP is
run, (or it's SCR), it turns off layers (Pads, Vias, Unrouted, and Dimension),
and at the same time resets the user's GRID spacing to it's own spacing (1 mil
spacing). I proved this by setting DISPLAY to ALL layers, and ran the ULP.
When it finished, all of my standard layers were restored properly (some on,
others off) - except for these 4 layers. By coincidence it creates 4 new
layers to use as Resistance Display overlays, so I wonder if that has anything
to do about losing exactly 4 layers, which may point to the source of the bug.

This bug makes for an extra bit of work to reset everything to the way it
was before running the ULP.
Hope Cadsoft can get this oversight in the download "TraceRes.ulp" fixed.

Thanks.

Hello,

I placed a large thru-hole pad, on the top layer, and want to connect it

connected to this GND plane and have 'thermals' set globally. How can I
turn OFF the thermals on the one large pad? I tried the CHANGE icon,
set 'thermals' to OFF, then selected the large pad, but nothing
happened. This pad is the pad for the ground wire that will be carrying
just under 8 amps. I don't need the pad connected with 4 small
'thermal' traces. Once I can get the GND plane solid underneath it,
I'll add some small vias to it.

I have a schematic that is done using the 'pcbexpress' software.. and I

The reason for this is:
1) I have a gentlemen that is interested in overseeing my project design
2)I believe I can find a cheaper pcb manufacture than these specs:

To have 2 56.40 square inch boards it will cost me $120.60
to have 4 56.40 square inch boards it will cost me $165.40
to have 6 56.40 square inch boards it will cost me $212.20

So ~$46.80 per additional 2 boards.


Or does that sound about right?

I would like to get them if possible!

Cheers

Arnaud

Is it possible to export a Protel Netlist? I want to use Eagle to draw my
schematic, and use Vcad for the final result. I know that Vcad can import
Protel netlists as it is used with Tinycad, but I just can't get my head
around Tinycad, so I would prefer to use Eagle.

Thanks
Andy

Hi, Changing printers causes crash. (Win98)
I've had this problem with eagle for a while, but never needed to change
printers. I get the
white "Ignore / Close" box, followed by the you're screwed now, close
program only choice.
All I have is an HP LJ6 and LJ5m
The Hp drivers are standard. I looked through the posts here & at Cadsoft
FIRST, but couldn't find anything.
I had the LJ6 set as default, I couldn't change printers & thought, fine,
I'll uninstall & reload.
I uninstalled eagle, set the LJ5 as default re-installed eagle.
The LJ6 is still loaded as the default for eagle. So I can't just change
default printers & restart either.
It must be loaded somewhere in the regy. I also had Norton do a clean up,
for what it's worth.
Hope someone can help
Thanks, Shawn.

EAGLE caused a general protection fault
in module HPW.DRV at 0003:00000eab.
