XML format

dukepro

Eagle 6.2 developers,

 

You guys have done a good job with the XML format.  Textual differences

between revisions show enough information to be able to tell what has

changed with a minimum of noise.  Hat's off to ya!

    Sure. XML is just a text file so any text editor can read it.

    I have  recently started using the free XML editor called "foxe" .

    It makes deleting XML elements easy. It does not need installing. I use it

    from a USB stick.

     

    I have a package I can't seem to delete.

     

    If schematic and board are open then you need to delete in the schematic.--

    If you are in an open library then you cannot delete the package while it's

    in use by a device

    This xml editor seems very good. Thanks.

     

    If I want to copy a package to make a second in the same library (as the basis for a new part), can I just add a section to the XML file with a new name. No problem doing that outside of Eagle?

    Sure, I just had a go using foxe. I feel its safer and quicker to use Eagle
