I'm a young engineer with extensive experience working on EAGLE. My interests include Power Supply design and LED solid state lighting, and I'm always impressed by a well designed PCB.

    Jorge,

     

    I'm trying to draw a hash filled semicircle with the two corners

    mitered.  Clicking on a polygon's vertex gives me an error beep.

     

    Is it possible to miter the corners of a polygon?

     

    The only workaround I have found is to move the vertex up, then split

    the straight line cutting across the semicirle to leave a 45 degree

    segment joining the end of the diameter line to the end of the arc.

    Then I edit the properties of the 45 deg line and give it a 90 degree arc.

     

    Thanks,

        - Chuck

    Hi, Jorge! I've got the up-to-date light edition and only one question:

    just can't add smd-ipc library!!! Only this library. I use "Use library"

    to add the library to the "Add" window but I can't add it. I'm sorry for

    my english!

    That library only contains packages. Since these can't be brought into a

    schematic, EAGLE doesn't include the library in the ADD dialog for the

    schematic editor. If you try it from the board editor you will see that

    it works.

    Hello, Jorge,

     

    I have a question but had already started a thread when I saw your post.  I have used several CAD systems years ago including PCAD, ORCAD and TangoPro but am having a small problem getting started in symbol creation.  Perhaps you could comment here:

    rather than me reposting.

     

    Also, I have requested a contact with you re a possible consultation re power supply design, FYI.

     

    Regards,

    Hi Jorge,

     

    I get the message below when trying to import my design from LTC Spice.

    Importing LTC Spice default design exemples seems to work though.

    Hi Klas,

     

    Look at your LTSpice design. Do you have any custom-made components in

    it? Did you remember to place GND symbols in your LTSpice schematic?

     

    If you have custom LTSpice components then you have to make a matching

    EAGLE part. See the Simulate with EAGLE webinar up on youtube.

    I should specify first that it is one the libraries by element14, is it

    still the same contact?

     

    Hi Blake,

     

    Thanks for specifying. The element-14 libraries have a different

    contact, usually when you download these they'll have a readme file the

    give you the contact information for the department that made those. The

    element-14 libraries are not made in direct association with Cadsoft,

    that's why they have a different contact.

    Hi Blake,

     

    Contact librarian@cadsoft.de. Make sure to provide

    documentation(datasheet, IPC image, etc.) to demonstrate the error in

    the library.
