Eagle Tutorials

First time post, long time reader.  I was recently looking for info on how to print multple copies of PC boards on one sheet of paper using Eagle.  No luck there, I had to export the board as .bmp and use the GiMP to recreate the page I wanted. But during my search I found these tutorials and they did help me understand Eagle a little better, perhaps they’ll help you as well.

Enjoy!

Coincidentally, I think I was reading a thread in the Yahoo PCB group recently about the multi-print problem. Same outcome as you got doing the exports into another app. I usually just use the “page” alignment prefs to move the print from top to center to bottom (or left/right if it’s small), and just let the previous prints get a little extra “heat” while the new ones go through. I also haven’t had any trouble with cutting 8.5x11 sheets into three horizontal segments and feeding them with each set to print at the top.

PS- As much as I like the Eagle app, I think they may have managed to produce some of the worst manuals in the history of mankind.

You’re absolutley right! Somehow I forgot to paste the link,

Same as your second link, although I like the first one better.

I’ll try cutting the Toner sheets as you said, sounds like just the ticket for a small project.

Thanks and

Sorry, sometimes I type faster that I think.

Just don’t hold me responsible. ;D

I’m just on regular glossy Staples and JetPrint photo paper here. I don’t want to see anybody ruin a sheet of that blue stuff or anything. I’m guessing anything that feeds with a full one will do the sections, you may just hear the roller running for a second after it comes out.

-Good Luck!
