Frame a PCB?

rickford66

Using a past program, I was always able to frame my PCB's just like Eagle allows on the schematics.  There were, of course, different layers.  On the drill drawing, I always put the board specs, such as material, finish, size, thickness, drill symbol chart, etc.  Is there a similar way to do this in Eagle?  Thanks.

    There are already frames for the board editor in frames.lbr. If you

    want to have a frame of your own plus doc field you should put this

    into one common package.

    You could also have the deocfield as a separate package definition

    in the lbr. Whatever you prefer...
