WebBench CAD Export - Cad Soft Eagle not importing properly

Matt Small

Trying to import webench_board_exchange_design_1008723_16_Eagle and I get an error C:/.../2013-12-30_12-49-42_Library.scr, Line 14:  Layer 93:Pins is not available!

I'm using Eagle 6.4.0

Looking for any feedback on what to do.

I get the same error when trying a different coil.

    Matt,

    We'll look into this issue. Do you have a more recent version of Eagle than 6.4? If so, you can try opening the brd file in that version of Eagle to see if it works. We'll get back to you with an answer as soon as we find the problem.

    I just installed 6.5.0 and tried it with the same result.

    The .brd files do open properly.

    Matt,

    Thanks for looking into version 6.5. What do you see when you open up the .brd file? Do you see the coil? If so, I think that is sufficient. I'm assuming you tried following the instructions in readme.txt.

    I'll connect with the resident expert on Eagle and let you know if viewing the .brd file is sufficient.

    I was able to open the .brd file and see the coils. That will work for the testing we want to do with them right now.

    Yes, I followed the instructions in the readme.txt

    Thank you!

    Matt,

    Actually, to open the PCB in Eagle, all you need to do is open the .brd file. You'll need to run the scr file only if you need to save the component footprint as a library and later reuse it in any of your designs/schematics. Moreover, you can ignore the error that you see (click OK to dismiss the error) and it will still succesfully load the component footprint.

    The readme.txt file is currently missing instructions on how to open the board (it should also say open .brd file). We'll make the necessary changes. But you're good to go as far as manufacturing the boards are concerned.

    Please let us know if you have any questions.
