I am using the Program EAGLE for building schematics then turning them into PCBs... My question is what does a swap level mean? I am currently using the symbol building library, and I wanted to know what the SWAP level number is...



J.J.

 

SWAP LEVEL sets what can happen when you attempt to PINSWAP.

If you set SWAP LEVEL = 0, then you are not allowed to PINSWAP.
If you set two pins to SWAP LEVEL = 1, then those two pins are interchangeable, eg. a resistor.
If you set another two pins to SWAP LEVEL = 2, then those two pins are interchangeable, but not with other pins that are not set to SWAP LEVEL = 2.

What would be the swap to polarized capacitor

 

What would be the swap to polarized capacitor

Set both pins to SWAP LEVEL = 0. You don't ever want to swap pins on a polarized capacitor or a diode.
There are so many prebuilt models of capacitors, I never need to create my own library.
