Thanks, Had used Eagle several years ago but this really helped quickly figure out a couple of things that could have taken a lot longer before I got going, it was a great starting point / refresher for this new project.

thanks - very informative. Ive seen a number of eagle schematics from different internet sites and they all appear to have a standard way of displaying them with the "title, document number, date, revision number, and sheet..." in the right hand corner - is there an option in eagle to do this?

Hey, Thanks WestFW, It's been so long since I used my old Eagle software that I just haven't been able to get up and running with Version 4.16. The manual was written by the software composers. Bad Move!. Ancient.
