Hi all 

I don't normally use eagle but was helping Paul with it as best I could last night.   

I think we sorted the gerber generation, but the question is how to get a single 'test point' pad into the schematic and pcb design?   At the moment it's in as a banana plug, which works but is clearly much bigger than it needs to be 

thanks
Lachlan

Perhaps add a 1x1 pin header and make it a SMD pad ?

In the standard libraries look in "testpad". There are lots of different options to your taste, depending on whether you want a through-hole or a pad with no hole, the shape and hole diameter you want and the schematic symbol you prefer.

Cheers,
