I am hopefully in the process of trying to actually print my first PCB. I have successfully built the circuit in eagle schematics but have a few questions regarding to switching to board mode.
When i click switch to board mode , i proceed and move the circuit components to the layout area. Once thats done using a combination of auto routing and manual movement i get things where i want them to be. Once Eagle draws in the blue traces, is it still possible to move a component and have eagle redraw the blue traces ? I have moved a couple of things and the blue traces become very messy and it wont let me delete them ?
Another concern is that i printed the circuit on paper just to see what it looks like and the traces are very small, i realize that there are many options in the design rules but unless i am changing incorrect settings nothing happens when i apply the rules ? Can someone just attach a design file for hobby printing ? Can one change the design rules anytime thru the process, maybe i am doing it in the wrong time ?
Thanks
Pete
