I would like to publish parts placement diagrams like this to make stuffing easier. (This diagram was made by Ray Wilson / MusicFromOuterSpace.com)

    If you'd like to, then go ahead!

     

     

     

     

     

    OK, I know, you intended to also say "but I don't know how, could

    somebody tell me?"

     

    It's simple. That diagram consists of copper traces in light green and

    component outlines plus text in black. On Eagle, the copper is in layers

    1 to 16 (just 16 in the case of a single-sided through-hole board like

    that one) while the component outlines are in layer 21 ("tPlace") and

    the text in layers 25 (tNames), 27 (tValues), 51 (tDocu) and possibly

    others, but those are the most likely. You may also want layer 20

    (Dimension) for the board outline.

     

    So, in the board editor, click on the "Display" icon. Now deselect all

    except the ones you want. Double click on each of them and click the

    "Color" box. Pick the colours you want (e.g. pale green for 16, black

    for all others). Click "OK" on the Display dialogue.

     

    Your board editor will now be showing the diagram you want. You can use

    "File>Export... >Image" to create a diagram in PNG or similar. or you

    can print to a PDF.

     

    It's also possible to do something equivalent as a CAM job.
