Whoho my first post here!
I allready read this forum for about two weeks and ordered the first parts of
my 64E today. Unfortunately i am stuck atm.
I normaly use a different program for layoutwork (target 3001, some of our german visitors might know it^^)
thus i am a bloody beginner to Eagle.
Now the problem that i am facing is that i cant make the groundplate of your layouts visible.
I am using Eagle 5.6.0 Demo Version with the Layoutfile for the PIC Burner (V3).
After nearly 3 hours i allready discovered the following:
it looks like there allready is a groundplate. It just doesnt fill the empty space, its displayed as a
blue line with points around the Layout. the preconfigured Settings for this polygon looks ok to me (reffering to this tutorial: http://www.muzique.com/schem/groundplane.pdf ).
“Thermals” is marked and “Orphans” not.
Also, when i click on my GND polygon line, some of the electronic parts which are connected to the ground get highlighed.
It looks like the groundplate exists, i just cant see it (nor print it, and thats a major problem).
Of course i used the forum search, but i didnt find anything.
Maybe some Eagle Crack wants to put me into the right direction? that would be really great!
[EDIT] Shame on me for not reading properly enough!
after a simple click on “ratsnest” it suddendly was visible.
