Mechanical Drawing

I am new to the board layout tool. Is there a way to generate a mechanical CAD drawing (of some type) showing dimensions, hole locations, etc. for the gear-heads?

Thanks.

    Hi,

     

    EAGLE can export DXF data for further use in mechanical CAD packages. This is possible with the help of dxf.ulp. EAGLE does not offer an internal tool for dimensioning the board. There are ULPs available that promise to generate this. Please look at www.cadsoft.de/download.htm in the ULP directory, like adimv*.ulp, drillplan-autodim.ulp, arrowhead.ulp. In the Misc directory is a further tool: eagle_pcb_power_tools.

     

    Regards,

    Richard
