EAGLE CAD - Bigger Pads

A bigger pad makes the solder process more comfortable. But to manually modify every pad in every library you use it's not such a practical approach. What can we do?! The answer is as simple as changing some settings!

In the Board Editor window follow this path: Tools > DRC. In the window that appears select the Restring tab. As you can see, the default value for pads diameter is minimum 10 mil. By changing this value (increasing it) you can obtain bigger pads. Use 20 mil and click the Apply button. Voilà! You doubled the diameter of all pads contained into this board file.
