I'm a noob to PCB designing and electronic stuff. I want to design a pcb shield which is compatible with an Arduino mega 2560. I'm using Eagle CAD. I checked the sparkfun library but I couldn't find a way to design Mega Shield. Can anybody give me a library or any alternative way to do this?

You should try Circuit Maker instead.Jeroen3– Jeroen32017年05月19日 05:43:48 +00:00Commented May 19, 2017 at 5:43

Alright Thanks @Jeroen3 I'll give a try. Is it comes with inbuilt libraries for Mega shields?Piumal Kulasekara– Piumal Kulasekara2017年05月19日 05:51:19 +00:00Commented May 19, 2017 at 5:51

Try KiCAD, there are plenty of templates for Arduino, Raspberry, BeagleBone etc.Jakub Rakus– Jakub Rakus2017年05月19日 05:55:59 +00:00Commented May 19, 2017 at 5:55

Since you're new user, perhaps it's easier to take an existing project and modify it for your need. For Eagle, examples can be found on Github.
However, due to recent developments in the PCB EDA world I would suggest you take a look at Circuit Maker. It's more fit for sharing an collaborating designs and libraries. You can easily fork an existing board and use their community parts repository.
