Label Maker

The Buzzard Label Maker is designed for speed: It should allow you to quickly create as many silkscreen flags as you need, export them into a library file and get back into EAGLE. When you open the Label Maker, your interface should look like this:

There are a lot of knobs and switches for tuning your labels to look the way to like them, but if all you want is rounded labels all the same size in readable typeface, you really just need to type a few things and click a button...

Basic Operation

Using the default settings, Buzzard will produce capsule-shaped silkscreen flags with a height of 2.46 millimeters. This size makes the text itself roughly equivalent to EAGLE's vector font at size 0.07, a common label size.
