Nice video and nice site. Thanks! I’d be interested in learning any quick short-cuts that you know of in Eagle, like how to place 60 pins one after another without 60 mouse clicks.

I want to make a package in Eagle but like don’t know how to go about it. I have seen and read your tutorials but need a bit of a help here.
Its a 70 pin connector, a row of 35*2
Now i need 35 pins to be connected to the bottom layer, where as the other 35 on the top layer.
So how should I go about making the package for this.
Please help.
I have a picture of the thing I want to make!

Good tutorial, can you do one about how to copy a part already in the library and rename the pins?
I want to take a standard 16 DIL package and make a new symbol/change the pin names.
Many Thanks.

Great job Chris!! That was really helpful. Just now created a whole new library without any issues. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the videos. Too bad an overworked engineering student finds time to make tutorial videos for free but Cadsoft won’t even though they make all the money.

Thanks for this tutorial.

I follow the petition of John.

Now I can create new devices but I only need to edit another devices to make small changes…

And I don’t understand how >NAME and >VALUE work.

Could you please explain that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the tutorials.

Could you explain how to ADD a device to an already existing library (you cannot create a library for every device) and how to deal with >NAME and > Value?
So for resistor R and an IC U? or IC? and ofcourse the right name.?

Thanks.

Billt,

This is available in Eagle, but only in the Standard and Professional version. See here: http://www.cadsoft.de/prices.htm.
