Now let us start doing some exercises. Start EAGLE, and wait until the
Control Panel appears.
Expand the entry Projects/examples/tutorial/MyProject of the tree view.
Now load the demo2.brd file. You can do this either by ••the entry
demo2.brd, or by selecting the file from the menu ⇒ File/Open/Board. The
schematic with the same name will be loaded along with the board.
Enlarge the board editor window.
First click the icon in the action toolbar to zoom into the drawing.
This WINDOW command can also be executed by pressing the function
key F3. If you are working with a wheel mouse, you can zoom into or out
of the drawing by turning the mouse wheel.
The setting for Mouse wheel zoom = 0 in the Options/User Interface menu
deactivates this feature. The zoom factor can be set with the option Mouse
wheel zoom.
Click this icon or press F4 to zoom out of the drawing.
By clicking this icon the drawing will be shown in full size to fit your
screen (you can also use Alt+F2 instead).
Click this icon and then mark a rectangular area by dragging the
mouse cursor while the left mouse button is pressed. Then release the
mouse button. The marked area will now be displayed.
To move the chosen window simply click the middle mouse button and
move the mouse. This also works while an editor command is active, for example,
while drawing nets or wires.
To scroll beyond the drawing borders additionally press the Shift key.
If the cursor is over the vertical or horizontal scroll bar and you are working
with a wheel mouse, you can move the screen up and down or to the
right or left by turning the mouse wheel.
During certain actions it may happen that objects in the drawing disappear
or get corrupted. In this case refresh the screen by clicking the Redraw icon
