Eagle - printing question

[Malc C]

Guys,

I'm using the freeware version of Eagle. Can someone tell me if the full version allows for multiple lay up of a board layout onto the full size euro card area.

Exporting the image as a bmp file and then laying up in Photoshop doesn't give good results (the tracks are too jagged).

Cheers

Malc,

IIRC when you export as a BMP you can specify the resolution - I use 600dpi rather than the default. That might be a simple solution to your jaggies.

Ahh..... - last time I did that it came out 4 times the size when printed... this time it worked :confused:

Anyway, what are you doing browsing the forums.. shouldn't you be working :rolleyes:

The freeware version lets you do a multiple layup too, as long as you don't violate the size constraints. Cut (not copy) the whole board to the clipboard, start a new board file and start hitting paste.

Can you be a bit more specific..?

Do you mean you want a 16 pin dil footprint.....Go to 'Add' and select the DIL ic package, 16 pin....

I want to include mc3361 ic in the schematics drawing!, There is no template for this ic in the software.
As you have suggested I tried....
but I am not able to locate DIL IC package.... is some lib missing..?

[Malc C]

All library files can be found in the Download - Library (http://www.cadsoft.de/cgi-bin/download.pl?page=/home/cadsoft/html_public/download.htm.en&dir=eagle/userfiles/libraries) section of the Cadsoft web site

However the DIL16 package is one of the default items installed, even way back with my old 4.13 version :)

Thanks for sharing this tip. I too was trying to do this same thing :).
