Using Eagle libraries on a shared network drive

e14 Contributor

Hi

 

I have started working in a company where Eagle is used, but there is currently no library management going on. I would like to organise the way we work so that there is a central repository for libraries such that we can ensure any new designs are created with the latest version of any component library.

 

This may be a simple question, but are there any pitfalls to using Eagle with its libraries located on a shared network drive? This would be ideal as it means there will be no duplicate copies anywhere. However I may be overlooking something vital so would appreciate some feedback on whether simply pointing Eagle to find its libraries on a shared network drive is a good solution?

 

 

Many thanks!

    I'd like to suggest an alternative is to run a SVN (Subversion) or other repository, and have each user checkout the library and project files on their own machine locally.

    - We use TortoiseSVN and actually have it linked to Bugzilla for automatic updating of bugs when commiting the change!

    Version control is very helpful when working on a schematic and board!
