Yes, using the top layer for your links is exactly the right way to route a 1 sided board. There are also some autorouter control files that will create straight tracks on the top layer, useful for autorouting a 1-sided board. Look on the EAGLE download section for 1-side.ctl or a similar file, and try out the autorouter. --Lawrence ----- Original Message ----- From: "BENEDICIC SAMO" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 1:55 AM Subject: Re: [EE] Eagle tutorials? > Hi, Joris! > > The method Jim mentioned works.
