Subject: Re: More Eagle peculiarities for new users

From: "kilocycles" <kilocycles@...>

The writer's description of the copper pour process is not completely
accurate. He says to rip up the traces and let the autorouter work
while doing the pour. I've never done it that way. I do the pour
(polygon gnd) command ∗after∗ my board is completely routed...auto,
manual or a combination of both sometimes...and I've resized the
traces, etc.

Cheers,
Ted
