For EAGLE users

To ensure the correct settings for your DRC, please use the corresponding EAGLE .dru file, which guarantees that we can produce your circuit boards free of errors. We have a .dru file available for download for each of the most common parameters:

To convert your EAGLE files, we use Eagle standard layers. Please specify any variations or extended layer specifications with your order.

The dimension layer 20 is only for display of the (outer and inner) milling contours with a line thickness of 1mil.

The milling contours including the milling diameter are defined in the milling layer 46.

Npth drill holes that are placed in the dimension layer will not be considered!

When copying and pasting circuit board layouts for panel creation, it may occur that EAGLE “increments” the labels, because only one unique part name is permitted. For instance, the name “R116” on the original board would become “R156” on the copy.

For a uniform marking print on panels, execute the EAGLE program’s “panelize.ulp”.

The program Eagle 4.11 contains an error that can lead to non-functional circuit boards. Here is the original notice from Cadsoft:

Due to a recent problem that has occurred to an EAGLE user we would like to inform you about a bug in EAGLE version 4.11, which could lead to non-functional boards.

The problem occurs if a user creates a board with EAGLE version 4.09 (or earlier), in which he uses polygons (for instance for supply signals) and places rectangles in the layer tRestrict, bRestrict or 1 through 16, respectively, in such a way that there are places where a polygon can only "flow" through with exactly its own line width. If the CAM data is then generated with EAGLE version 4.11 it can happen that polygons are not calculated in the same way as seen by the user with his version of EAGLE. This in turn may cause some parts not to be connected, and render the board non-functional.

The bug was present in all EAGLE versions from 4.10r01 to 4.11. It is fixed in the current version 4.11r2 (and all beta versions since 4.11r01). Therefore we strongly advise to use the latest version of EAGLE, which is available for download from our homepage www.cadsoft.de
