/products/eagle/b/blog/posts/making-a-pcb-in-eagleIn my previous post on Starting out with Eagle I followed Jeremy Blum&#39;s tutorial to build a 555 timer circuit using Eagle&#39;s schematic editor. I&#39;ve now followed the next video and put together a PCB. Before moving on from your schematic to PCB, I...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/products/eagle/b/blog/posts/making-a-pcb-in-eagleTue, 30 Sep 2014 15:36:15 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:0901b879-e925-4d70-9812-17e71170a772Workshopshed0<p>The answer to setting to mm found by <span>[mention:e790a7571dc0434d8b805f1a2d42b839:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]</span> type &quot;grid mm&quot; in the command prompt.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a class="jive-link-thread-small" href="https://www.element14.com/community/thread/37740/l/metric">Metric?</a></p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=18569&AppID=69&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/products/eagle/b/blog/posts/making-a-pcb-in-eagleMon, 08 Sep 2014 13:43:08 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:0901b879-e925-4d70-9812-17e71170a772shabaz1<p>Hi Andy,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good stuff! And its good advice on the ERC too. It always gets me out of trouble, invariably it will spot stuff I&#39;d missed or forgotten even on small designs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regarding the wire thickness, it is possible from the schematic to put wires into &#39;net classes&#39; (and set up the classes from Edit-&gt;Net Class menu option) and that is useful for (say) power traces as you say. It&#39;s still not perfect (since some parts may not need to be thickened, e.g. a supply line connected to a 100k resistor wouldn&#39;t need a thick line) but that could be thinned later.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=18569&AppID=69&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
