Electronic – arduino – Eagle CAD template for Arduino Shield

arduino

I would like to reuse a PCB layout of a design to make an Arduino shield. I want to reuse Arduino Uno R3 board to make an Arduino shield package in my library by deleting every components in the original design (leaving the stack headers intact for the shield).

I tried block copy to bring the block in board to the package window (in create new package) but it did seem to work. It did not allow copying of pads from layout to package window.

I would not want to draw everything from scratch and even pad placement in this case.

What you want is to start out your design with an Eagle CAD template for an Arduino Shield, as W5VO pointed out in his comment.

Here is a link to one library that contains such a template, from Adafruit Industries.
