How would one change the default shape of a via?

 

The user manual describes some properties in .eaglerc, but I have not

found one related to the default via shape.

 

Thanks,

Hi Chuck,

Use the eagle.scr file found under the scripts tree in the control

panel. Go ahead and open it and on the next line after BRD: type in the

following.

CHANGE SHAPE ROUND;

Instead of round you can put SQUARE, OCTAGON, etc.

Save the eagle.scr file. This script file is special because it runs

every time a new editor is opened, so it's good for setting up defaults

like this. By putting it after the BRD: heading it will only affect the

board.

Good morning, Jorge,

Thanks for the tip.  It worked exactly as described.

Do you know of a user-specific file that could be edited in a similar

manner, perhaps a file that doesn't get overwritten on each update/upgrade?

Thanks,

Hi Chuck,

I hope you are doing well. Unfortunately no, the eagle.scr file is

unique. What some users do is keep a backup of it and then when they

install a new version they just swap it out.
