If you're using a newer version of Eagle, it's super simple. With the file open that you want to generate, go to upper 5th to the left , CAM processor button. Click that. It opens the CAM processor wi

I don't know if you're using Windows 10 but the display settings are a little crazy. I did find a way to see the 'accept' button...portrait to landscape. But navigating the mouse is insane even just t

Must I 'shrink' the app window? Because in the 'setup screen, there's no '-'. Just an 'X' and a '?' Anyway around that?

Trying to setup PCBGCODE on a new machine (Windows 10). Got far enough to settings page but can't size the window to see/reach the 'accept' button. Closed it down and just tried 'run' on a board got m

Allow me to introduce another scenario with Windows 10 I found way more bothersome,Jeff. Try a weeks worth of 3D CAD in Rhino, machine left on overnight to find an otherwise 'saved' file wiped by the

I've used OshPark for sometime and they certainly have a place in getting boards done but recently I needed some special features so I tried JLCPCB. I can't tell you how fantastic they're work is and

Do you have 'generate mill layer' checked in 'setup'?

Use SMD, give it the dimensions you want, in library on the layer you want, put a via with the drill size you want and then call both the same name. You could also use 'hole' instead of the via and th

You make a border on the milling layer (I think it's 46). It's cyan in color. Make it the width of the tool you'll use to cut it with.

FYI: 'info' a really important tool is the circled 'i' in the tool bar

This all revolves around my first comment on pocketing firstly. If you make a pocket in some spoiler board, let's say you make a pocket for a board that is 1"X1". Let's also say that you made the pock

You can use the 'mark tool' oin Eagle to make any spot 'zero X,Y'. Then you can info tool any hole in Eagle, move your cursor to that info mark and then look at the window next to the regular coordina

When I need to drill (or even specialize mill a small area on a board that's already cut), I make a pocket in spoil board and let's say your left lower corner of the board is 'zero X,Y'. Then I copy t

I know this is more an Eagle question and it might be apparent to some so if inappropriate to post here then so be it but I have a question: If one was to create a library in Eagle in metric, would it

You are right on Art. And that's exactly why I say a small investment of trial and error to slowly lower your bit 'a bit by bit' will give you the best results you can hope for given not the greatest

You can but you'll have to get your board through a level analysis program(boards are not greatly flat) and you'll have to get your machine really tight z wise. My way works for 'seat of the pants' sa

You can do what I do. Construct a new library part and make the pads over-sized; even if you have only a very small amount of space between pads. Also, start z high and lower a bit at a time so you're

Got it. Heres what happened; when I went to save it, my MAC didn't give me a choice for the folder I wanted to it started out on my desktop. Before I quit Eagle, I took the .brd file and put it in the

I tried an old file I drew and that worked fine. Same path, etc. No weirdo naming of file.-Keith
