      Hello,
      I'm working on a PCB design that uses ESP32 processor. I want to make a custom PCB shape using Eagle(It's by default an arbitrary rectangle in eagle though). How can i make different shapes like circle, Hexagon or any custom PCB shape? Is it possible with Trail version of Eagle ?

        Hi @kowshik1729,

        Yes, you can import the .dxf drawings file to PCB Board design, but I recommend is that use Autodesk Fusion360, you can collaborate with eagle .

        Step 1: Create Fusion360 design

        Step 2: Select Creat PCB from Creat -> Create PCB

        Step 3: Click Create PCB Profile

        Step 4: Click Finish PCB and Save to Fusion

        Step 5: Open Eagle and Sign with the same account that used Fusion360

        Step 6: Open Board Design file and Select Fusion360 Icon on the right side and Select Option One that links to existing fusion design

        Step 7: Select Fusion Project from the following project list and select the PCB file

        Step 8: Click Pull From Fusion to Sync the design with Eagle

        Step 9: If everything done perfectly you can see the PCB board outline in eagle

            The reason I wanna use online tools only is because, I have been using my company's lappy and I am restricted to install any other Softwares. So, online tools will be an easy way for me. by the way I have found another way too. EasyEDA provides an super easy solution for creating custom PCB shapes. It really came in handy for me.

          • Hi all,

            I recently came across this post where they have shown photos printed on PCB in high resolution. I would like to know how to add this kind of photos to the silkscreen layers of the PCB in Eagle/Altium.

            Adding such kind of photos will be attractive for beginners and also can be used for educational purposes too.
            Please let me know in case anybody knows.

          • @kowshik1729 I think that might not get since the platform is not opensource! but they provided everything you need to develop a system with that.

          • @kowshik1729 Carrier board schematics for SoMs will be always available as they need to be modified as per customer application, however SoM design files are hard to get unless the H/W design is truly open-source.

          • @salmanfaris Actually the schematics files you've mentioned are the same files which I've got from them. They are carrier board design files.😢
