Information about Version 5.7.0
|
||||
|
||||
==============================================
|
||||
|
||||
Updating from older versions
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANT: If you are updating from an older version of EAGLE, please make
|
||||
********* sure you read the file doc/UPDATE entirely before working
|
||||
with this new version!
|
||||
|
||||
Manual + Tutorial
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The EAGLE manual and tutorial in PDF format can be found in the "doc"
|
||||
subdirectory. Please make sure you read at least the tutorial before
|
||||
beginning to work with EAGLE.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimum System Requirements
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Intel PC based Linux
|
||||
- Kernel version 2.6
|
||||
- X11 in at least 8bpp mode
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Run the self extracting shell script eagle-lin-5.7.0.run
|
||||
and wait until the EAGLE Setup dialog appears (this may take a few
|
||||
seconds).
|
||||
In case you are installing from CD-ROM and can't execute programs from
|
||||
the CD, you may need to copy this script to your hard disk first.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to install EAGLE from a shell without a graphical display,
|
||||
you can call the script with the name of the directory into which EAGLE
|
||||
shall be installed. For example
|
||||
|
||||
eagle-lin-5.7.0.run /opt
|
||||
|
||||
would install EAGLE into the directory '/opt/eagle-5.7.0'.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
To use EAGLE just run the program
|
||||
|
||||
/home/username/eagle-5.7.0/bin/eagle
|
||||
|
||||
(assuming you have installed EAGLE into the default location under
|
||||
your home directory).
|
||||
|
||||
Graphics distortions when scrolling windows
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you encounter graphics distortions when scrolling windows, you may need
|
||||
to disable "composite" mode in your graphics setup.
|
||||
This can be done by adding the following lines to your X configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
Section "Extensions"
|
||||
Option "Composite" "Disable"
|
||||
EndSection
|
||||
|
||||
Octagon apertures in Gerber RS-274X format
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The various Gerber viewers on the market have different ideas about how to
|
||||
display octagon apertures in RS-274X format. There are all kinds of
|
||||
interpretations of the diameter and rotation.
|
||||
When generating octagon apertures in RS-274X format, EAGLE assumes that the
|
||||
viewer will interpret the diameter as the distance between two opposite
|
||||
corners, and that it has to be rotated by 22.5 degrees to achieve the
|
||||
proper alignment. In case your specific viewer interprets these data
|
||||
differently you can adjust this to your viewer's special needs in the file
|
||||
'eagle.def'.
|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANT: Before sending data in RS-274X format to your board house you
|
||||
should make sure you ask them how *their* software will interpret octagon
|
||||
data.
|
||||
|
||||
Platforms
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Board, schematic and library files created with EAGLE version 4.11 or later
|
||||
can be exchanged between Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. The binary data
|
||||
format is the same on all platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Autorouter job files that have been created with EAGLE for Mac OS X on the
|
||||
PPC platform can't be processed with any other version of EAGLE (and vice
|
||||
versa).
|
||||
|
||||
Printing fill patterns
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Printing fill patterns doesn't work with Postscript files.
|
||||
If you want to print fill patterns, create a PDF file and then
|
||||
print that file.
|
||||
|
||||
Electrical Schematics
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This EAGLE version is suited for drawing schematics and generating other
|
||||
documentation for electrical projects, according to the European standard.
|
||||
The descriptions of the specific libraries and user language programs,
|
||||
as well as the tutorial covering this topic, are written in German.
|
||||
At present, there are no plans to offer these features for the English-
|
||||
speaking market. Feel free to use them, but there will be no support
|
||||
in English.
|
||||
|
||||
Language
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
EAGLE uses the same language as the operating system it is running on
|
||||
(provided the necessary language specific text files are available).
|
||||
To override this, you can set the environment variable LANG to the
|
||||
desired value, as in
|
||||
|
||||
SET LANG=de_DE (under Windows)
|
||||
|
||||
before starting EAGLE.
