Storing custom made lbr files

StefanTh

Hi

 

I have both EAGLE-6.2.0 and EAGLE-6.3.0 installed on my Windows 7 platform.

Over the time I have made a number of .lbr files with both EAGLE versions.

Nowdays I only use EAGLE-6.3.0.

I create designs with components form libraries I have created with both versions of EAGLE.

The parameter "Libraries" in the "Directory" menu is set to "$EAGLEDIR\lbr"

 

Do a newer EAGLE version search older installed EGALE versions /lbr directory for .lbr files ?

Do EAGLE "move around" custom made .lbr files when it is installed ?

 

If a do a search for one of my files, hartman.lbr, I can not find it, neither in C:\Program Files (x86)\EAGLE-6.2.0 or in C:\Program Files (x86)\EAGLE-6.3.0 but if I do "Open library" in EAGLE-6.3.0 and move to C:\Program Files (x86)\EAGLE-6.2.0\lbr EAGLE it will find the file and I can open it ??

 

 

 

Regards Stefan

    Eagle-6.3.0 is a newer version and may contain updated libraries and

    some other corrections.

    If you have created your own devices you should put them into your own

    libraries and place them into a different directory.

    Otherwise if you update eagle into the same directory the libraries will

    be overwritten and your work is lost.

    You must add the path to your own libraries in the control panel

    /options /directories and separate it from existing entry by a semicolon.
