Whether it\u2019s your word processor of choice, or even your PCB design software, we all crave the ability to align and order things as we please. That\u2019s why in Autodesk EAGLE Version 8.1.1 we went all out on adding a complete suite of PCB alignment tools that makes it easy to design beautiful board layouts. The rest of the world might say we engineers have a problem with OCD, but really, we just like things to work great, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">look great! Let\u2019s dive into the brand new PCB alignment tools in Autodesk EAGLE and learn how to use them in your own design project.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-alignment-tools-matter-for-pcb-design\">Why Alignment Tools Matter for PCB Design<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entire EAGLE community has been shouting from the rooftops to give you alignment tools, and we\u2019ve been listening. After all, there\u2019s nothing enjoyable about squinting to count grid points while you line up that row of SMD resistors or vias. The new alignment tools in Autodesk EAGLE includes everything you might expect:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Align a set of objects by their top, bottom, left, right, or center origins. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evenly space grouped objects based on horizontal or vertical distributions. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Align new design blocks or library parts to your grid settings with grid alignment. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, while all of these alignment tools will surely make your life easier at design time, they even have an impact down the road during manufacturing. It\u2019s more than just making your board beautiful; alignment tools can help with:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"making-pick-and-place-machinery-more-efficient\">Making Pick and Place Machinery More Efficient<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are you\u2019re designing a board with a ton of surface mount components, and you\u2019ll need the help of a rapid-fire pick and place machine to get those parts placed. You could start slapping down components wherever you please during your layout process, but think of the machines, please! By carefully aligning and spacing your components, your manufacturer&#8217;s pick and place machine will be a lot more efficient at placing accurate solder mask stencils and parts. Plus, you\u2019ll avoid any unnecessary delays when having your next prototype manufactured. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-1034\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/eagle\/2017\/05\/PREmails_3DRoboticsDrone2_072012.jpg\" alt=\"pick-and-place-machine\" class=\"wp-image-1034\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Those parts don\u2019t place themselves!

There\u2019s no greater feeling of pride than looking at a PCB design with perfectly aligned parts, all evenly spaced, with beautiful sweeping traces connecting everything together. With the new alignment tools in Autodesk EAGLE, it\u2019s easier than ever to design a board that not only works but looks great too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, now that we\u2019ve got all of the real benefits out of the way, let\u2019s get started! We\u2019re going to chunk this tutorial up into three separate parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Part 1 &#8211; Distributing Objects Horizontally or Vertically<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We\u2019ll start with the granddaddy of alignment by distributing objects evenly, whether that\u2019s a row of resistors or vias. &nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Part 2 &#8211; Aligning Objects by Edges or Centers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We\u2019ll then move on to aligning a set of objects by their edges or centers, which makes it easy to align those decoupling caps right where you need them.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Part 3 &#8211; Aligning Objects to Your Grid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Lastly, we\u2019ll take a look at how to quickly align new objects, like design blocks or parts from multiple libraries, to your particular grid.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"part-1-distributing-objects-horizontally-or-vertically\">Part 1 &#8211; Distributing Objects Horizontally or Vertically<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s right, no more having to count individual grid points just to make sure all of your objects are distributed evenly! Here\u2019s how to make it happen with the new alignment tools:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First,&nbsp;you need to select all of the objects.
