Is there anyway to exclude parts from the PCB

Former Member

In Eagle Cad, is there anyway to exclude components on the schematic from the board view? I have several parts that will be wired to screw terminals. They still need to be shown in the schematic, but I do not need or want them on the board. I can't leave them outside the board area, so what's a guy to do? Thanks...

    Hi Derek,

    I hope you're doing well. This is possible. In the library for those

    components create an attribute with the name EXTERNAL. This tells

    EAGLE that this part is off board and therefore doesn't require a

    package on the board layout.

     

    In order for this to work the device can not have a package. So you may

    need to create a variant of those parts without packages.

     

    To do this I open the respective library and then in the control

    center right-click on the device-set I want to create the package-less

    variant off and copy to library.

    Eagle asks for a different name (because the device-set already

    existst); I append -NP (no package) to the original name.

     

    Now I open the new device-set, remove all packages and add the

    EXTERNAL property.

     

    Save the library and update the schematic.

    In short
    If for a such work, it needs transformation in the library or anything other time-consuming work
     
    It is easier to have two different schematic


    After all that you read, you understood that it is not in position the eagle it makes this work
    As well as other a lot of basic works
