How do I change a board outline shape/size in Eagle Cad Light?

japper
japper over 12 years ago

I am using the latest version of Eaglecad light (6.4.0) and I am attempting to make a shield for the Olimexino board.

 

I have taken an existing schematic and PCB layout  of the Olimexino board in order to get the correct spacing

of the pins that I want this pcb to plug into on the Olimexino PCB.

 

Wasn't sure how to import the pins for the spacing/locations so I saved the Olimexino schematioc and board

as a different file name and added my schematic to theOlimexino schematic.

 

Then I removed the Olimexino components (except the pins that i want to use) from the schematic and added my components.

 

I open the board file and the spacing looks correct for the pins that I want and then I had to remove all of the components

that I did not want from the original Olimexino board layout.

 

My ratslist is shown on the board screen but  I would like to change the dimensions of the PCB in the layout section of Eaglecad

to make more room for my circuits.

 

I made the board dimensions larger in the Eagle board layout section manually but then when I try to move a component onto the

newly addded area I get a message that states that the light version of eagle can't perform the requested action. Some objects extend

outside the allowed board areas.

 

How can I change the size of this PCB without loosing the spacing/location of the pins?

 

Thanks

    Hi Edgar,

     

    That's correct, EAGLE defines the work area using a rectangle whose

    bottom left corner is at 0,0 and top right corner is at 100mm, 80mm.
