Scaling Schematic to fit frame

eagle1301

Hello!,

I am trying to fit an schematic to one letter size frame page, does anyone know if there is a ULP or tool to scale the schematic to make it fit?

  • You need to be careful with this - each component symbol has a real dimension. If you somehow try to edit to scale each symbol in the schematic to fit letter size, your schematic is now no longer compatible with the thousands of other components in the EAGLE libraries.

    For a similar reason, grid settings for schematic mode are not to be ever changed, (it is in the EAGLE user manual), otherwise wires will try to connect at a different spacing/scale to the components - and this just doesn't work.

    Long story short, if your schematic doesn't fit letter frame size, you have to live with it within EAGLE. Nothing stopping anyone from printing a larger sheet at a different scale into (say) a PDF of course.

    Thank you for your comments. I think I am going to resize the symbols in the components library and rearrange the schematic based on your comments.

     

    Thank you.

    Ok, but (from general experience) it's good to consider "here be dragons" when you tread in areas in software that may have received little exercising by users.

    Not saying you will hit any bug (it may have been written and tested really well), I'm just applying general thoughts here - let's say I have interesting experiences of how code can sometimes be written or tested.
