Turn your EAGLE schematic into a PCB

Step 9 Load design rules

Since we're hobbyists, we want to make our board with wide traces and big spaces (see http://www.instructables.com/id/EZVIGHUBGCEP287BJB/ )
So we'll load up that set of hobbyist design rules before we start laying out tracks.

Click the Design Rule Check icon and use the LOAD button to load hobby.dru from my other instructable. Or you can modify values manually and individually, of course. Or leave them as is...

Great instructable man. I just finished reading the "how to draw a schematic" one and loved it. you helped me figure out what i was doing wrong. :)

I sure would like to be able to download that hobby.dru file, but the site keeps telling me I need to be logged in. (I am logged in, or else I wouldnt be able to post this) Anyway, guess I will have to follow your instructable and just make my own :)

Try the hobby.dru file on this page.

Thanks! I dont remember how I did it, but somehow I was eventually able to get it. the only problem I had after using your hobby.dru file was that I coudlnt change the shape of my pads. so some pads on transistors violated the rules. I ended up exporting my drawings into coreldraw format and trimmming them there.
