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

Hi

Great to see you took time to describe your problem using many words.

Your approach was sound enough but could have been easier.

If you have the board and schematic open at the same time, as you remove

the unwanted Olimexino parts from the schematic they are removed from the

board at the same time.

Eagle light has a board size restriction of 100mm x 80 mm. If you attempt

to place a part origin or part pad outside of that area you get the error

you received. You can have other lines outside that area.

Knowing what you wanted to do, I would do the following for that Olimexino

board, at the start.

1. Move all of it further into the permitted area

Enter into the command line

Group all;

move (>0 0)(10 10);

2. Manually MOVE that jumper table down below the Y=0 axis with a GROUP

then MOVE with CTL key depressed and right mouse.

3. Draw an outline that shows you the 100*80mm restriction.

grid mm;

layer tDoc;

wire (0 0)(100 0)(100 80)(0 80)(0 0);

4. Now you can easily group and move the board to where you want it within

the limitations of the light version.

To answer your question another way, you could group singly (See HELP

GROUP) each of the pin headers and move them as a group. They will retain

their relation ship to each other

i had the same problem and this explanation made my undestanding beter to the software that i am trying to learn

*Provide Customers with Professional Lighting Luminaire Design and

Manufacturing Fulfilling the Professional, Functional and Cultural

Requirements*

*Induction lamps have the advantages of high brightness, high lumen

efficiency, low-energy consumption, no flicker and long service life,

possessing outstanding characteristics and excellent luminous effects.

However, only the use of professional lamps can completely reveal the

advantages of induction lamps, and only the use of professional lamps

could be more useful from cultural and functional perspective.*

*The induction lamp-related products available on the market have a

relatively low professional degree, and the phenomenon of putting

different types of matching lamps together can been observed everywhere.

Applications in most cases, where other lighting fixture are far-fetched

for induction lamps, void the advantages and characteristics of

induction lamp, as well as its essential differences from conventional

lighting products. In addition to that, the luminous efficiency is

suppressed, and the differences in heat radiation shall result in

shortening the use- life, lowering the energy-saving efficiency and

seriously impacting the overall quality of products.*

*In terms of functionality, lamps may need to withstand intensive

vibration, air pressure, rain and snow, acid dust erosion, potential

explosions and other events based on different environmental conditions;

From cultural point of view, a lamp is an artistic expression meant to

create the local social environment and pleasant atmosphere, as well as

a best way to engage the innovative experience and customers’ individual

demand. Clients’ individual needs can only be met with professional

design and lean manufacturing, where the professional matching products

of induction lamps (http://www.lvd.cc/inductionlamps.html) could be

provided from the perspective of expertise, functionality and culture.*

*Hongyuan has gathered a lot of experience in the illumination

brightness and distribution curve flux design, overall lighting planning

and other lamp designs, with profound technical strength. The company

has developed and produced various professional products of induction

lamps, including street lamps, tunnel lights, high bays, explosion-proof

lamps, flood lights, underground lamps, down-lights, yard lamps, ceiling

lamps and so on. The company makes its technology and services move

forward to stand in the forefront of the market to listen to the actual

demands of customers directly, then designs and makes customized

products especially for them. If it reaches a certain production volume,

the company can provide free designs for customers, as well as to meet

the focal needs of high level and high standard from customers in the

one-stop services provided by Hongyuan.*

*The LVD manufacturing base covers an area of nearly 200mu (about 13.34

acres), with the complete manufacturing cycle of research and

development, and production of ballasts, PCB, glass bulbs and tubes,

lamps, fixtures and packages, and it always controls all aspects and

phases of production on its own, which closely reflects the strict

requirements of Hongyuan for product quality and their stringent

attitude for being highly responsible for customers.*

*LVD Mold Workshops have a complete set of mold equipments with high

standard and high level, creating various lamp molds completely adherent

the design of lamps, and then use a whole set of production proceedings

to test the mold process and mass-production, to ensure the product

quality of manufacturing in enormous quantities. In fabrication, the

lean production makes the product quality penetrate into every detail,

to show the excellent quality of Hongyuan’s induction lamps, hoping

customers to be satisfied because the product quality meeting or

exceeding their expectations upon experiencing our products.*

customers’ demands, supporting the concept of green and energy-efficient
