    Hi Alessio, I am sorry there is no possibility to allow smaller sizes for a netclasse. The Autorouter has to use the given width. You could pre-route a short piece of the signal manually with the smaller…

    I am just getting started using EAGLE and have a question about library practices.

     

    I intend to att a part number attribute to every component I use and keep them all in custom libraries.

     

    the question is, how portable are libraries between versions of EAGLE.

     

    So far I have searched the distribution libraries first to see if my part is there.  If it is, I simply copy it to my custom library and add the part number attribute.

     

    Do you see a problem with this approach?

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Library files are 100% forward compatible.

     

    Use the Drag&Drop feature from the EAGLE control panel into your custom library.  Take a look at Page 256 of the EAGLE Reference manual.

    Reference Manual and Tutorial are in your EAGLE/DOC folder.

     

    FYI:  There is a ULP called exp-project-lbr.ulp that will build the orignal libraries or a single library based on all the componets placed on a schematic.

    I hope this helps,

    Regards,

    Ed
