1590XX Enclosure

Hi I can't seem to see the 1590XX size enclosure in Madbean's library, anyone have it?

Thanks

You likely have to be in the board editor and add it there.
I'm not sure how his library is set up but mine has the enclosures only as footprint with no associated schematic symbol.

I don't think I've done anything with the 1590XX so I never made a library part for it.

What you can do is download the hammond dxf and import it to eagle to make the outline.
Eagle doesn't import curves on dxf files so you'll have to draw those in if you want them.

I do it slightly differently and import the enclosure step file into Fusion 360 and create a dfx from a projected sketch and import it to eagle.
That way I can include only the what I want on the dxf file.

It's easier than it sounds but you need a mechanical CAD program to do it that way.

The 1790NS and 1590XX are within a couple tenths of an inch of each other in their dimensions, so the 1790 is what you're looking for.
