Pad size

e14 Contributor

New to eagle, I succeed to make a schematic and a board, my own library.

While trying to custom my packages pins I am getting square, round, long

options

My problem is I don't understand how to get the long pad shorter than

round*2

For example I want to make a pad of 7056 mill but I am getting 11256.

Any advice will be appreciated

 

Best wishes

Joe

    The builtin "long" lad is legacy stuff. You better make a round one and

    draw a custom shaped polygon around it (in lib package editor). As long

    as the polygon is surrounding the center of the pad, it will merge with

    the pad. Of course you have to draw both bottom and top polygon pad.

    Polygons can have arc sides to make the roundness you want. If you are

    new to making polygons, you may need to practice this a bit.

     

    Beware, Eagle does not support slotted holes well (yet;as by version

    7.x), but there are ways around it if you know the manufacture process well.

    I succeed to draw two polygons I wanted as pads

    I would like to save them as pads and use them for some of my packages.

    Still don't understand:

    • How the polygons are merging with the pad

    • How to save them as pad

    • How to use them when designing a new package

    Will appreciate any help
