Hi! How can I show and set the title, document number, rev, etc on the schematic?

Thanks and best regards

EDIT: I found it!!   must go to ADD (like to add a component), and then search for frames. There is a frame library with all of them

Hi Cyril,

It might not be an EAGLE file, we are not the only piece of software that uses the .brd extension, I remember we once received a file from a user with a similar issue. Upon further investigation we discovered it was not an EAGLE file at all but rather the file was made on another PCB package (The exact one escapes me right now).

A good way to check it to try to open the file using Notepad. You'll probably get a lot of garbage but if you look through the file you might find some readable text that will give you a clue as to the origin of the file. That is how we were able to solve the problem I mentioned previously.

If you continue to have problems you can e-mail the file to support@cadsoftusa.com

Hope this helps,

Jorge Garcia

Hi Everyone.

I just purchased EAGLE Standard not realizing that the board size was still limited.  Can I own EAGLE Standard for the Schematic editor and EAGLE Professional for the Layout editor?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Hi Jeremy,

I hope you are doing well. I assume that you wanted to get started working with EAGLE, the question seems ambigous, if you would like to start working on something else then elaborate and I'll help you as much as I can.

Getting started with EAGLE is very simple. All you need is to go to www.cadsoftusa.com and download the Freeware version of EAGLE for your operating system of choice (Mac, Windows, or Linux).  This version as it's name implies is free, it's limited to a 4"x3" board, 1 schematic sheet and two layers( Top and bottom for placing components or routing circuits).

The EAGLE manual and tutorial are included with the download as PDFs. Those are the single best sources of information on how to use EAGLE. If you work through the Tutorial you'll find that you pick up EAGLE much faster.

To help you on your journey, I have included a text document with Links to tutorials on EAGLE.

If you need anything else, please feel free to post.

Regards,

Jorge Garcia

I started a board layout but only the top and bottom layers are available. I have a full license. How do I make the inner layers available? I did copy and paste schematics from other files that were two layer boards. I need to make a four layer board.

Thanks,

Ivan

Hi Antonio,

Try going to www.cadsoftusa.com->Downloads-> Miscellaneous. Look for gbreagl5.zip, it contains an executable that turns your Gerbers into an EAGLE script file, this will allow you to import the Gerbers into EAGLE.

You can also try the EAGLEPCBpowertools v5 06 that's in the miscellaneous section, it a limited use demo but maybe it can work for you.
