Eagle Footprint

Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi,

May I know if which layer the placebound has to be provided in a footprint and where do we assign the footprint height in a eagle footprint?

Regards,

Amala

Hello,

I am sorry, but I do not understand what you would like to do? What is the placebound? Is it placeplan or silkscreen on the board? If yes: layers 21 tplace, 25 tNames, 27 tValues.
EAGLE currently does not support the third dimension. But there are several projects that can deal with this. please take a look at the CadSoft Download and search in the User Language folder for 3D.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply.

Placebound is the courtyard or the boundary of the footprint for the minimum clearance from footprint to footprint on the Board during the placement.
Below is the screenshot of the placebound outline in pink

Hope I am clear.

Amala

Hi Amala,

yes I see. Thanks for clarification.....
For this purpose use the Keepout layers: 39 tKeepout and 40 bKeepout
