[sdiy] Eagle for PCB Layout

[john slee]

Things I learned in Eagle this weekend:

1. click+hold on the "Add" or "Replace" tools gives a menu of recently-used
parts

2. there's a text variable SHEET_HEADLINE. Reference it in your schematic
frame object (ie. a text object containing ">SHEET_HEADLINE") to get
automatic sheet titles and look all professional and stuff. The DOCFIELDS
parts in the supplied "frames.lbr" library don't do this :-( but it's of
course it's easy to copy+modify the library

The Eagle manual (which doesn't seem to have been updated for v9 yet — they
have a lot of catching up to do!) has a list of text variables in the
appendix.
