EAGLE 8 Schematics "First Steps" (do every time you start a new project)/

2018/01/26 - From the eaglecad-things repo (written for EAGLE 8.6.0).

Control Panel

  • Run EAGLE.
  • The Control Panel should open up.

On every new or opening schematic, do:

  • Control+1 to set the right layers in the schematic.
  • IMPORTANT: Set the grid to something sane: -Type grid 0.05 2 alt 0.05 on (Make the grid 0.05 inches. Make the visible grid 2 x 0.05 = 0.1 inches. Turn off the alternative grid.).
  • Add a frame
    • Type "Add"
    • Go to the Frames library
    • Choose "A" size, or "Letter" or "11 x 17".
    • Place the frame at the origin (cross symbol) -- this turns out to be important later.
