Library Management Tool

seddona

Hi All,

 

I'm currently working on a library creation and management tool that can be used with Eagle. This will make it much easier to create new parts, reuse old ones and share libraries with others. If this sounds of interest and you would like to get an early look please reply here or email me at andrew@seddon.me

 

Kind regards,

 

Andrew

    In what way will it make it easier to create parts, reuse old ones, and

    share libraries above the native Eagle capabilities?  It seems creating

    parts and reusing old ones is already pretty easy.  Sharing libraries with

    others is more about common conventions than the actual sharing, so I'm

    curious how you intend to address that too.

     

    Frankly, this sounds like a answer wishing for a question, but I'm willing

    to be convinced if you can show how I get something useful to me I don't

    have now.

    Thanks for that question: It would be a real help to get some

    information about what is planned for this tool. In my experience, using

    EXTERNAL tools for ANY software quite often requires LOTS of converting

    etc., so the main benefit of such tools is often dramatically reduced,

    which of course should be avoided.

     

      - WILL this be an external tool?

      - Or will it be some ULP that 'talks' directly with EAGLE?

      - Will it work on ALL three platforms or not?

      - What new functions will it introduce?

      - ...
