Community PCB Design

Hello all. Alright?

I’m new here on the forum and use the Software Eagle PCB, and I came up with some questions.

1 - How do I specify the thickness of the tracks, when the autorouter?

2 - How do I view separately the two sides of the plate?

3 - How do I view separately the face of SikScreen?

Any help will be appreciated, because I am a beginner.

thank you

Welcome 3dmaniaco! Feel free to check out SparkFun’s Beginning Embedded Electronics, which includes a tutorial on EAGLE. It’s very well done and answers all these questions (which may explain why no one answered your questions here – it’s all good, just note for the future).

But just to get you up-and-running, here are your answers:

  1. The auto-router uses the DRC rules you implement. Change your trace thickness there and the auto-router will follow those instructions.

  2. Click the Display button (left-hand toolbar, second row, first column), click “None”, then select either the Top or Bottom layer. It’ll show just that layer. It may also help to keep the Vias layer on as well.

  3. Click the Display button (left-hand toolbar, second row, first column), click “None”, then select either the tPlace or bPlace layer. tPlace is the silkscreen on TOP of the board and bPlace is the silkscreen on the BOTTOM of the board.
