wiring diagram

Former Member

Hello all,

 

Has anyone been able to get Eagle to work for wiring diagrams.  When I

try and create some schematic only components (wire housings, ferrules,

etc..) I get error messages that there is no PCB footprint.  OF COARSE,

this is for the wiring I plan to associated with the board I have created.

 

We are getting to crunch time and I need to get this moving.  Maybe I

just need to have the SolidWorks team work on this for me.

 

Thanks

Ryan

    Of course.  Schematic capture is one of its main functions.

    If you want to put things only on the schematic that aren't real parts on

    the board, you can either draw them directly in the schematic or use a

    canned symbol from a library.  Annotation text is a good example of the

    former, and schematic frames for individual pages are common examples of

    the latter.

    As always, reading the manual saves time.  It sounds like you've already

    wasted more time bumping around in the dark than it would have taken to

    read the manual and do it correctly from the start.
