Title: Eagle test leads
Post by: Savetheday on November 11, 2015, 10:41:53 am

Hi everone
How do we show in Eagle schematic test leads.Do you know is there any component for that or I better leave it as a wire alone?
And
For sheet layout table how do we add text like Kicad.Do we have to add text manually?
Thanks for great helps.

For test points, get Bob Starr's library and ULP downloads.  One of his libraries is a big set of test points.

Open wires/nets is a very bad idea. Also, the DRU check will raise an error for that.

Use one of the testpoints provided in testpin.lbr or create one yourself. Takes only a few minutes with Eagle.
