How to add 0R 1206 Resistor as Jumper t o Board Layout

Former Member

Hi;

Most of the Cad editors allow to add a 0R Resistor to board as a jumper.

But I can't find how to do it without adding to schematic.

 

Thanks in advance..

    Good, because such things should be in the schematic.  You can make a

    jumper device and have it use your 0 Ohm resistor footprint if you like.

    Just curious, what is the rationale to have such in the schematic? I

    could understand if it is a jumper in the sense of selecting a

    particular option. And of course, it needs to be in the BOM no matter what.

     

    But what if the board has a significant jumper layer and there are many

    0R jumpers that are just part of the circuitry, not selecting anything.

    Why would I want to see these on the schematic? How does EAGLE know that

    the net name should be the same on both sides of the jumper?

     

    Is it more expensive to move up from a 2 layer to 4 layer board or just

    add 10 0R jumpers? Looking at real circuit boards from disk drives and

    the like, I see many examples of 2 layer + jumper construction...

    In most cases, a four layer board is significantly more expensive than a

    two layer board with /many/ additional jumpers (depends on board size,

    of course).
