I'm designing a circuit in Eagle and I need to have fixed dimensions on certain holes. I can of course use the dimension tool to measure the distance but I don't see a way to make the dimension "stick" to the hole I'm designing.

Is this possible? So that I can make the dimension tool measure from the hole to the side of the board and then when I move the hole the dimension follows?

Use the Group tool and move both the hole and the measurement.

Hint: You can use the move command and then select each hole and measurement by holding the Shift key. (Deselect with Control)

Edit:

Select the Hole and the Measurement both with Group

Drag the hole to the position you like

I hope I understood it right. You have to select one side of the measurement only and the hole of course.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Perfect. I got it after your edit. I have to select only one side. Thank you. \$\endgroup\$
