I have just bought Eagle online, downloaded installed ok, my question is will I get any handbooks or other physical deliveries from Farnell or Eagle?

If no handbook is supplied how do I get old of one?

Hi Phil,

you won't get any physical deliveries.
EAGLE comes with manual and tutorial as pdf files which can be found in the EAGLE-5.11.0/doc directory.

Regards
Richard

Dear Mr. Richard_H,

Recently I downloaded the FREEMIUM version of the Eagle 5.11 PCB CAD. I made my schematics, and after that, I can't put the AUTOROUTE to work. Is this FREEMIUM version limitated at this point? I thought that I could make my board from my schematic. Isn't it?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jb,

When you go from schematic to board you'll notice that all of your components are placed to the left of a grey rectangle. That grey rectangle represents your work area. Before you can autoroute you must first move all of your components into the work area, otherwise the autorouter will not work.
