Hi,
I'm trying to get back into the electronics hobby after a 30 year hiatus. I was hoping to use Eagle to start simple and move up from there. Here is an example of my problem; I want to select a standard 5mm LED and I get 100's if not 1000's of choices. I search for 74xx00 chip and I get dozens of chips when all I want is a thru-hole DIP. I'm nowhere near exploring surface mount technology. Is there any way to filter surface mount compents and provide me just the simpler choices?
Regards,
Scott
