Custom shape polygon pad footprint/package?

rflmota

Hello,

I'm a new user of Cadsoft Eagle, and have been struggling a bit to design custom packages/footprints?

Can somebody please give me some hints on what's the right/easiest method to design a custom shape pad like the central exposed pad from the picture for example? I know I should use the polygon overlapping a normal pad, the method I've been using is to roughly design its shape and then adjust manually the coordinates of all the lines of the polygon but this task seems to be quite tedious and time consuming, I wonder there is a better way?

Thank you very much for your attention.

    Thank you!

     

    I saw this error message the other day. It seems like a weird caching issue possibly related to the forum upgrade.

     

    To resolve it I did a forced refresh of the page telling it to bypass the local cache and reload it from the external source and from that point it was fine. There are a couple of ways to do this depending on your OS:

     

    1. Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button.
    2. Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    3. Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

     

    Best Regards,

    Hello Rachael,

     

    for me this issue with the videos occurs only in Part 2 and 3.

    Part 1 and 4 are all right.
