ADD
Add library elements to the schematic. A search function helps devices
tobefoundquickly.USEspecifieswhichlibrariesareavailable.
NAME
Givenamestocomponents,nets,orbuses.
VALUE
Provide values for components. Integrated circuits normally get the
type(e.g.74LS00N)astheirvalue.
SMASH
Separate name and value texts from a device, so that they can be placed
individually.Thesizeofsmashedtextscanalsobeindividuallychanged.
PINSWAP
Swap two nets connected to equivalent pins of a device, provided the
pinshavebeendefinedwiththesameswaplevel.
GATESWAP
Swap two equivalent gates of a device, provided the gates have been de
-
fined with the same swaplevel. In EAGLE terminology, a gate is a part of
a device which can be individually placed on a schematic (e.g. one tran-
sistorfromatransistorarray).
SPLIT
Insertanangleintoawireornet.
INVOKE
Fetch a particular gate from a device (e.g. gate D before gate C). This
command allows you also to add a gate from a device which is located
on another sheet. In such a case, type the name of the device (e.g. IC1)
intothecommandlineaftertheINVOKEcommandhasbeenselected.
WIRE
Draw line (this command is called WIRE because it is used to define
electrical connections, i.e. wires, in the Layout Editor). The type of line
canbechangedwithCHANGESTYLE.
TEXT
Placing text. Use CHANGE SIZE to alter the height of the text. If the
text is using a vector font, CHANGE RATIO will alter the thickness.
CHANGE TEXT is used to alter the text itself. CHANGE FONT al
-
ters the typeface. You change label texts by assigning a different name to
the bus or to a net by means of the NAME command. See also LABEL
command.
