Running both V5 and V6

Hi,

you must have two different "eaglerc.usr" files.

Let's say you use V5 with file "eaglerc.usr" and V6 with a copied

version called "eaglerc_v6.usr".

Then you have to start V6 with parameter "eaglerc_v6.usr":

C:\your_program_path_to_eagle\EAGLE-6.2.0\bin\eagle.exe

"-UC:\your_path_to_eaglerc_file\eaglerc_v6.usr"

Hope that helps...

As some of my customers still run version 5 I need to have both versions

next to each other.

Therefore I created a share V5 that contains all V5 projects and scripts.

Also created a share named V6 and that one containt all new V6 files.

 

Then I strated version 5 and updated the directorie to something like this:

MYBOOKLIVE\EagleV5\lbr;C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle_5\lbr

So it points to the old program directory and also to the new share for

version 5.

 

But surprise surprise when I started version 6.2 to adjust the

directorie to the V6 values, the changed V5 values showed uup.

 

The question is how can I tell Eagle to use the V5 directories when I

start version 5 and use the V6 directories when I start version 6.

This is what I did:

Created a empty file in both my project shares called eaglercV5.usr and

eagleV6.usr and adjusted the program start as you suggested.

Then started version 5 first, edited the directories to point to the new

shares and then closed 5 en started 6 to do the same.

That works great.

But then I found that the eagle.epf file in version 6 still contains some

version 5 information as show below:

-

Version="06 02 00"

Platform="Windows"

Serial="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Globals="Globals"

Desktop="Desktop"

AutoSaveProject=1

UsedLibrary="C:/Program Files (x86)/Eagle_5/lbr/19inch.lbr"

UsedLibrary="C:/Program Files (x86)/Eagle_5/lbr/40xx.lbr"

UsedLibrary="C:/Program Files (x86)/Eagle_5/lbr/41xx.lbr"

UsedLibrary="C:/Program Files (x86)/Eagle_5/lbr/45xx.lbr"

-

I thought I could solve this problem by doing a library update all but with

no success.

Is this noral or a bug?

I did a search on theeaglerc.usr files on my system but found none.

Should I create this by myself?
