Appreciate the effort put in by the two instructors. It was helpful. I do wish to echo several sentiments voiced by others. I needed to rewind dozens of times to see which icon was clicked on. It would also be better to have the user construct a small two-side "typical" circuit with a 20pin part, a bus device, some regulators, caps, resistors, connectors and supplies. Then take it through each step noting the icon and shortcut methods and typical gotchas. A sequence of videos expanding on each step would be the next useful addition. Oh, I know this will generate some debate, Autodesk really needs to bring the UI/UX into the the 21st century. This is really so 1990's. Remember if you don't innovate, eventually your competitors will.
Guys, I think you need to produce a set of getting started of videos for this software version of eagle. It should be best practices, show short cut keys rather than icons provided that is more productive. No point in unlearning bad habits when a new user gets better. When a new user installs eagle, the video lesson should be identical to a new installation at the start of the video. If you like to make changes to the cad environment for productivity improvement, show the new user. I can’t always see what the picked icon looks like, say what the icon looks like as you click on it. Do not talk about how this version has changed or how great a new feature is, a new user is learning the tool for the first time and the software history is probably not important. New features and capabilities should be talked about in a different video. Create the getting started video set around a new project that is something you have not actually designed before. The new project should have an opamp, A/D converter, cpu with a bus, a linear and a switching voltage regulator, a board with some physical constraints like a 12V power jack and switch and possibly an RJ45. Deliberately put in newbie mistakes and later show the user how to fix them. I don’t think a getting started video benefits from being a recorded live stream. Voice added to the video later will be more concise and you can edit and speed up the video through repetitive tasks after you have demonstrated them a few times. Best Wishes, Peter
You should have explained trace thickness. Who's going to use miniscule trace widths as small as you've created? Especially your supply traces. Regardless that this is a tutorial is about getting started in Eagle... 5/10
I didn't think someone could buy and degrade the Cadsoft Eagle till I have tried out the Autodesk Eagle. Man it has several issues from designing to routing, basically anything they tried to improve got worse or non-trivial. The only pro is that it is now much slower and unstable...oh that is also a con, sorry. Absolutely can not recommend the Autodesk version. Horrible.

Shortcuts are a personal thing and people tend to change them. So showing the icons is always going to work.
Good brush-up for me. I last used version 6. This version is much improved.
version 7.7 too.
555 tutorial again!
Gotta watch

Can you add just a generic resistor and then come back and add the actual package size later?
Great Video, thank you
Hi, I wanted to make a full wave rectifier PCB board. I couldn't find 2:2 transformer. I am learning this EAGLE software and i do need help
ho to add a component that not exist in the eagle library
You have to create it...

And you just can't outright buy it anymore. Yikes.
kicad is so far better than eagle, especially autodesk witch needs you to be connected to net & signed else u r burned.
thanks kicad team
like BIS001
i Can't DRAG ANY THIS SOFTWARE IS SO COMPLECTED AN BORING
Hi Nawaf, What would you like to drag? Can you provide specifics? Thanks!
