  • RIPUP command line in 7.2 & 7.3

    I have a .BRD with named wires and polygons, but when I go to RIPUP; it misses ripping up one of the wires, and when I RIPUP @;, it rips up the fillings, but not the wires/contours. Am I misinterpreting what the command line is to do when typed or in…

  • Polygon

    Hi Everybody, I would like to make something like that : So I drew polygon around pins 8,9,21,22 and pad for L ( polygon and net name "SW") -> OK I drew 2nd polygon named "GND" for all the card When calculated (by "rastnet"), polygons seem to make only…

  • separating polygon fills

    Hello, I want to start using poygon fills for traces on power planes, such as the piccie below. I have named the above Polygon fill VCC. The trouble is I have a ground fill (named GND) on the same plane and when I hit Ratsnest (which processes polygons…

  • Large plot of data warning message?

    Hi guys, when trying to create gerber files I got this warning message: "Signal 'GND' contains polygon that may cause extremely large plot data" then if I try to continue it takes a lot of time to create a simple gerber. How can I correctly set polygon…

  • Using Eagle 7.2.0 schematic modules (hobbyist version) ... net names in module, are different from net names on a board?

    From a current project Version 7.2.0, Eagle Hobbyist. In schematic module (say "AB-CDEF-1") net name is "SW1". This is is visible and can be manipulated routed, changed, etc. as normal. in a PCB layout. It is always showing up as AB-CDEF-1:SW1 I want…

  • Error when running a Job

    I'm getting an unusual error message. When I tried running a CAM job the error message says the package contains a polygon that may cause extremely large plot data. What's causing this error and how do I fix it? This is going to be a prototyping board…

  • hierarchy problem...

    Hello, It is first time that I try to use module... 1) I got many "ERC" errors that i can't solve 2) I don't know how to name polygon with hierarchical netname : Is there anybody to help me ? thank you Hervé

  • Change number of connections of 'thermals'

    I'd like to know if I can change the number and angle of the connecting lines that are generated when a polygon connects the pads with the same name and 'thermals' are active. Thanks in advance.

  • Increase space between polygon and traces in v6.5

    Greetings, I'd like to keep a solid polygon further from my ckt board traces because I'm having to use two layers (per side) of overhead view-graph sheeting printed on by a laser printer. (one layer is a bit thin). Although the little HP1102 printer is…

  • Doubts about autorouting and polygon filling

    Hello. Thank you for listening to my doubts. I've two questions mainly related to routing in the board designs. 1. I usually design boards which have a lot of connections. Being a lazy person, and with the awesome autorouting capabilities of EAGLE, I…

  • Making a Top and Bottom heatsink w/connecting mounting holes.

    I need a heatsink on both sides of a board connected by 3 mounting holes. They need to be either bare solder or bare copper (probably polygons). I cannot understand how to do define the polygons to be bare or solder with no masking and include the through…

  • Simple polygon line width question

    I draw a polygon with a line width of 10 mils, and fill it for a ground plane. The line is 20 mils from the edge of the board. Will the edge of the copper on the fabricated board be 20 mills from the edge of the board (at the CENTER of the line), or 15…

  • Unexpected Polygon Pour

    According to the documentation, overlapping polygon pours and cutouts should work with recent eagle versions. The setup is simple, ground on the outside, supply on the inside, and some empty space inbetween. Nevertheless, I'm unable to get this to work…

  • Power Planes (Polygon Tool Questions)

    Hello, I have a question about using the polygon tool. I just finished a design where I had half of my top layer as a VDD plane, and half of my top layer and a GND plane. On the VDD half of the board, I had a power plug and a voltage regulator with an…

  • wie kann ich geformte pads für SMD Bauteile bilden?

    Ich habe von dem Hersteller einer Drosselspule eine etwas "kurvige" Landefläche vorgeschlagen bekommen. Bei Eagle kenne ich aber nur rechteckige pads - nicht mal einseitig abgerundet. Wie kann ich "formvollendete" pads generieren? Oder gibt es dafür einen…

  • Eagle 5.0.0

    Hello guys! I am working with Eagle 5.0.0 and I am facing two problems. The first one is that I cannot add a new layer. I need 6 layers, but it shows only 4 on the Display even when I set in the Design Rule the equation (1*2+3*14+15*16) or (1*2*3*14*15…

  • How to unfill a polygon after ratsnet

    Hi: Once you create a polygon for a ground plane, and after using Ratsnet, the polygon fills. How to get rid of the fill again (other than closing and opening the .brd again)? Thanks; Gus

  • Copper pour overlapping even if they are of different net.

    Hello, I have a ground plane (GND) at the bottom layer. Inside this ground plane I have an smaller analouge ground plane (AGND). When pouring the two ground planes are overlapping (connected together). They are two different netclasses and signal names…

  • Drill hole clearance

    I have designed an land pattern for a micro USB connector. The connector have 2 x 0.9mm drill holes under it. The problem is the clearance distance around these holes being to big and overlaps the soldering pads for the very same connector. These holes…

  • Polygon Pour/Fill causes DRC Spacing Errors

    My board fab house (Advanced Circuits in USA) has a requirement that copper regions must be spaced apart by at least 5 mils, even when the copper sections are of the same signal . Eagle's polygon pour (fill) seems to violate this requirement regardless…

  • Is it possible to make long hole pad in Eagle ?

    Dear all, How can I make this kind of Pad (with long hole) in Eagle Library Editor ? Thanks for help, Georges Attachments:

  • Overlapping polygons

    Hey, I need to define a couple of large and irregularly shaped traces, so I decided to use polygons and ratsnest to accomplish my trace shapes. This worked great, however, when I added my ground pour polygon, which encompasses my power related polygons…

  • Isolated pins won't connect to a Polygon...

    Hi, In the LED library there are symbols for the Cree MX6 LED's that have an isolated pin in the center with thermal vias. When I place a polygon on layer16, they do not connect to the vias as expected; I need to name the polygon to the same signal name…

  • Making cut-out in filled polygon

    Hi all. I'm trying to make cut-out zone in filled polygon. I'd like just to define a zone in the polygon, which will have no fill. In KiCad this function is named - "Cutout area" (Zones->Add cutout area). Is there a way to do this in Eagle? Thanks, M…
