Using Eagle PCB design software

[SexyBeast]

Hi,

I need some help in using the Eagle PCB layout software. Actually I've learned the basics of creating PCBs but I need information about some details and can't seem to find it on the net.

I know there's a helpfile from cadsoft.de, but it didn't help.

How do I create bridges? While using the autorouter you often have a signal that won't fit in your design and you need a bridge, but how do I do it?

hints welcome! thank you

You can do this two ways:

1) Add jumpers from the "jumper" parts library to your schematic (.sch).  (look under "J")

2) As you are manually routing the trace, route it up to the point where you need the bridge to start, switch layers from bottom to top, route the bridge, then switch layers back to bottom.  This will automatically put a pad+via+hole where you do the layer switches.

The second method is the easiest to do on the fly.

Have fun!
