Just want to put parts on the board

Former Member

Brand new to Eagle but have used other tools. Want to lay out a board directly without creating a schematic. I cannot see how to put down an IC socket from the libarary. Pads and holes work fine but no parts.

 

- When I select  Library > Use and select "ic-package.lbr" nothing opens. 

- When I select Library > Open, I can get the attached window but it is not clear how to drop a socket on the board.

 

Help please!

    Why do you have issues with creating a schematic?

     

    You need to work with the tool or find one that fits your purpose better.

     

    I can give you advice on how to work with this tool, as I have worked with it for about 11 years now, creating hundreds of pcb's...

     

    I am with you on this point though, you should be allowed to at least switch off Forward/ Back annotation if you so wish, perhaps someone will take your suggestion...

     

    I can see no reason why you should not be able to, and I have tried to see if I could, even went back to version 5...no luck!

     

    Perhaps someone else here knows a way to turn off the FB annotate?
