eaglepcb
I'm creating a package with Eagle, an Arduino shield package. While placing the pads or even drawing tPlace symbol for the package, I feel very difficult to allocate these items.
If my memory works, there should be a command to set any arbitrary origin, then any placement would be calculated relatively to that origin. Is there such command in Eagle?
I could not find it nor even Google gives any good suggestion
Thank you!
You can just copy a package from another library into your own library and edit it. Are you asking how to copy between libraries?
Yes, this is done in the DRC settings. One of the parameters sets how far traces must be from board edges, which includes the edges of unconnected holes. I don't remember the exact setting name, but run "drc", look thru the settings, and you should be able to spot it.
You are saying you looked in the DRC but didn't find it. It's actually quite obvious and one of only two setting under the "Distance" tab:

sigh...! it's been a while and no one has answered this. The other day, I did some searching and tried it well with "mark" command.
This command works in both schematic and layout window in Eagle. Topic closed! :D
