Getting Started with Autodesk EAGLE: Webinar Series

Getting Started with Autodesk EAGLE

Running EAGLE for the first time is fairly simple, but there's still more to learn. Join EAGLE Specialists Jorge and Ed for a detailed breakdown on how to navigate the Control Panel and organize your projects with a simple to use and effective project tree view system.  You'll learn how to navigate the EAGLE control panel and design your first schematic.

Topics Discussed:

• Explore EAGLE Control Panel
• Create a Project
• Create a Schematic
  • Add Parts to Schematic
  • Define Connection to Schematic

Electromechanical Workflow with Autodesk EAGLE and Fusion 360

For a very long time, there has been an increasing demand for the capability of exchanging design file within an Electronic Design Application and a Mechanical Design CAD system. That has now been resolved with the latest release of Autodesk EAGLE. This new system allows users to fully interpolate files between EAGLE and the well known mechanical solution by Autodesk called Fusion360. Please follow Edwin Robledo and Jorge Garcia as they guide you at the best practices to optimize your workflow between EAGLE and Fusion 360.

Topics Discussed:

• Sketch the board outline in Fusion360
• Create a PCB in Fusion360
• Import the Board Outline into Eagle
• Populate components in EAGLE and Push to Fusion 360
• Move components in Fusion360 and modify the Outline
• Import edited board in Eagle, fix routes for new component position and push to Fusion 360

Uncovering the Mysteries of the Autodesk EAGLE Library Editor

EAGLE includes a large number of libraries within its default installation. Manufacturers are constantly releasing new versions. Autodesk EAGLE has a dedicated team of Librarians that are consistently adding libraries, but there will be times that making your own will be necessary.  To this end, EAGLE includes a package generator that uses a  parametric package template selection tool that allows you to build a package and associated 3D model with a few mouse clicks.

Topics Discussed:

• An explanation of the sections of the EAGLE Library editor
• An explanation of considerations that need to be extracted from a manufacturer specification sheet
• Building a package using the Package Generator
• Building a Schematic symbol using Smart Paste
• Creating a device
• How to use components in design and push to Fusion360

Manual Routing Magic with Autodesk EAGLE

Autorouting can do an efficient job, but more often that ever you end up spending countless amounts of time cleaning up. Autorouters will never be able to take into consideration all the necessary variables in today's constantly changing technology. Manufacturers persistent strive for smaller and better performing components challenge the PCB designer to accommodate stricter DRC constraints.  The EAGLE developing has introduced many new enhanced tools to make manual routing an easier task. Live Design Rule Check and Quick Route are just a few that we will be demonstrating.
