  • Hi Richard,

     

    If I have  four small pads (which have the same signal) and they are very close, can I join one of them with the corresponding signal and then use the "rect" command to join them ?¿

    I´m worried about that because you cannot insert the name in the rect, so i don´t know if it will work.

    Are you working with EAGLE V6? If yes, you can connect one pin to two or more pads in the device editor. You could also use a POLYGON (no RECT) in order to draw a special pad shape or to combine two pads.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Hi again Richard,

     

    I didn´t explain well.

    I´m using Eagle v6 and as you said i have got connected one pin to various pads in the device editor. Now in the board layout i want to have a cooper track which goes from one element to these pads. The easy way is joining the element to one pad (of the connector) using the route command and then to do the same with the rest of pads(its a connector and these pads are very close one to another). But to make it " more beautiful" i though to join the element to one pad using route command and then with the rect make a rectangle joinig the four pads.

     

    It doesn´t work.

     

    Do you understand me now?

     

    Regards,

     

    Xabi.
