Update Library does NOT update schematic or board

Former Member

Update Library (specific) or Update All Libraries does not update

schematic or board with library changes.

The only work-around is to open the schematic and "pretend" to add the

revised component, acknowledge the "updated" messages, and then escape

(cancel) the addition.

This is unacceptable behavior.

Eagle should check for updated devices/packages whenever a board is

loaded and prompt for update or not.  And, Update Library should WORK!!!

    I will have to check, but why would editing the library mark it not for

    use?  Why would you want to edit a library and then not use it?

    Seems silly.

    We have most all of our devices in one library, so that they are easier

    to find and control, so we edit it a lot, and want the changes updated

    in the schematics and boards.

     

    Any suggestions to make the updates easier and prevent the library from

    being marked not for use?

    That's not the case. Editing a library does not mark it "not in use".

    Could you check this please again as I can't reproduce this?

    I have also seen this behavior (Editing a library seems to make it "not

    used") although it does not happen all the time.  Using 5.10.

    Seems to be very srange, I never have seen this. But please keep an eye

    on this. Perhaps you can check out when this happens.....

    I would agree with Richard, normally editing the library has no effect on

    the libraries that are being used.  I use only one library and edit it

    often.  Once the library is setup to be used I never have to touch that

    setting again.

     

    Maybe there's a bug somewhere, but this is not normal behaviour.  I've done

    more than 100 boards and never seen this.

     

    Cheers,

     

    James.

    Thanks....I had always assumed (probably correctly) that I was doing

    something wrong.   Now that I know that at least one other user has seen

    the same sort of thing I will try to be more vigilant about what I can

    do to make it happen.   If I come up with a reproducible sequence of

    steps will let you know.
