Newbie Qs

autodeskguest

Using EAGLE 5.0.0 on Kubuntu 8.04.

 

I got a little over-eager and jumped right into creating a board without

reading the manual.  Now I can't figure out how to draw the board

boundary that is normally auto-created when you create a board from a

schematic.  EAGLE keeps routing traces around the outside of components

that are supposed to be on the edge of the board.  I tried drawing a box

of wires in the milling layer, but it didn't help.

 

When drawing a schematic, how do you place the supply and ground pins of

an IC?  I'm trying to draw a circuit with a 74xx in a DIP14 package, but

it only lets me place the four logic gates (automatically labeled

IC1A-IC1D) then starts over with a new chip (IC2A).  This is actually

the reason I skipped drawing the schematic.  Halp!

 

Thanks,

Krum

    The boards I have that were created from schematics all have a box drawn

    on Dimensions (Layer 20). Don't know if that will help.

    Use the invoke command to show the power pins.

    No problem.
