How to change the pad size of an IC in eagle??

Former Member

Hello!! Everyone,

I had made a PCB in eagle, but the problem is that, the pads some components are little bit smaller, so i have to change its length.

Can anyone please tell me how to do so.??

I searched on net, but did not found any simple thing to do so, some post suggests to redraw the package, can any one please share something which simple do this task.

    If you want to make the pads larger, draw new pads the size you want on top of the old pads using the Rect tool (be sure to choose the desired copper layer)

    If you want the pads to be smaller, you will need to delete the chip after making the new pads and manually route connections to the new pads.

    These methods defeat some of the functionality of the CAD system, so I doubt anyone would recommend them.
