Sparkfun.com have some good eagle tutorials (reasonably sure there was one on making a library part), and of course eagle comes with a few tutes.

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Anyone willing to do a screencast video-tutorial, on how to make part/footprint in Eagle ?

Hi,
Someone's already been kind and done that..
If you do a search for EAGLE library on Youtube you'll get a couple of hits,
this one for example:

In another current threads, I saw a number of people say that they make
their own parts/components including the PCB footprint.
Wondering if anyone of you would be kind enough to make a screencast
video-tutorial, showing / teaching how exactly you do it, i.e. how you
translate the footprint from data-sheet into a new component for your
personal library.
Instead of Eagle, if someone chooses to do it in KiCad, that might be well
enough as well, since having used both a little (still a n00b level usage),
I see quite a few similarities, so I am hoping that with a little more
efforct, I could do the conversion on my own.
thanks,
bd
