Title: Dimensions locked in Maxi board file?
Post by: Stinde on January 15, 2013, 03:36:04 PM
Hi,

I'm trying to make a new board version of iMX233 Maxi fitting into a DIN box. The board design requires increasing the dimensions few millimeters.
I can't select and modify the board dimensions in Eagle. Is the dimensions layer locked somehow because of the mounting holes on the same layer?
I can select and modify the dimensions of the Micro Board since the board doesn't have anything extra on the dimensions layer.

Regards,

Timo

This problem is solved. The board is a component.
To be able to edit the board dimensions, you have to oopy components to local libraries of the components on board with exp-project-lbr.ulp.
The board is in OLIMEX_CASES lib as JM42_PACTEC-101X61X25_MILLED
I couldn't do it with Eagle 5.8 Lite, the board didn't show in the library. I had to get latest test version.
