Does EagleCAD support more than two layers PCB design?

Former Member over 15 years ago

Hi,

I have a design that needs to be compact, that is, small in size. I am

not able to route the traces with just top and bottom layers. I look to

do a 3-layer PCB. Does EagleCAD support that? Is there a tutorial or

example that I can learn from?

Thanks!

Yes, since it can do up to 16 layers. However, if you're going to use more
than 2 layers you might as well go to 4. There won't be any savings in
specifying only 3. For most board houses, that probably means etching away
the fourth layer.

Does the free version support 16 layers or does one need to purchase the full version to unlock this?

Thanks for the above info...Ok, I'll stick with two layers, since I love
the FEE edition so much.

Actually the fee edition can do 16 layers, it's the free edition that can
only do 2.
