miter command?

Question

When I use the miter command it always defaults to the rounded corners, and I have to switch to angled. I can't find any documentation on how to change that. Can anyone help?

From the help:

Straight versus round mitering

If radius is positive, the inserted wire will be an arc with the given radius; if it is negative, a straight wire will be inserted (imagine the '-' sign as indicating "straight"). You can toggle between round and straight mitering by pressing the right mouse button.

So, for example, if I type:

miter 25

I end up with a round corner, and if I type:

miter -25

I end up with a straight one...

Try putting the "miter -25" (or whatever your preferred radius is) in your eagle.scr and see how that works for you...

Check out the miter help under editor commands in the help system. You should be able to put the command in your eagle.scr file (open "Scripts" in the Control Panel) and it will always go into effect when you open up EAGLE...
