HELP WITH MAKING PCB

hennessey12

I was given a pdf file of a schematic and a netlist. I am trying to make a board without making the schematic in EAGLE. is there a way that I could upload the netlist into the PCB after I added the parts from the library so that it could create airwires? I am new to EAGLE. Suggestions will be very much appreciated. thank you.

    Hi

     

    While what you are suggesting sounds simple there would be a lot of work

    to achieve it. The net list would have to be in the form of an Eagle

    script. All the elements(packages/footprints) you placed on the board

    would need to be named to match the names in the netlist and the

    contacts (pad names) would need to be the same as in the netlist.

     

    It is nearly always better to duplicate the schematic from the pdf.

    As you select and add the components to the schematic and connect the

    pins with the NET tool the airwires will be in place on the board.

     

    If new to eagle, ensure you do some tutorials on the process of creating

    a schematic and then laying out the board.
