directory troubles

e14candies

I have a schematic/board project project with both files stored in s:/halo

 

However, when I open Eagle control panel my project folder icon shows

empty. 

The control panel shows

Projects

  >Eagle

     >SolarProj (with its files)

     >RF28Vboard

      Halo

 

note the Halo folder icon is not preceeded by an "arrow" & the icon is an

open folder style regardless of whether I click on it.  However clicking on

it brings up/removes the green dot.

 

If I click to the left of Halo the folder icon does change and I get either

a right arrow or blank (probably since the folder appears empty).

 

How do I "add" these files so eagle knows they exist.  At one point they

were showing up in the folder, not sure how they disappeared.

    Hi Hoyt,

     

    Click on the field you wish to add the path to, and then click the

    browse button on the bottom left. This will allow you to define the path

    without typing anything.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    also, perhaps I am confused. 

     

    I want to put each of my future projects in different locations  with their

    own directories, pdf files, software listings, photgraphs, etc

     

    S:\motorproject

         \pictures

         \testdata

         \pcbfiles  (eagle files go here)

    S: \radioproject

          \soundfiles

          \datasheets

          \excelfiles

          \pcbfiles (eagle files go here)

    T: \airplanenav

           \flightdata

           \pcbfiles  (eagle files go here)

           \purchase orders

     

    etc

  • DO YOU MEAN THIS?

     

    $HOME\eagle;$EAGLEDIR\projects\examples;$EAGLEDIR\PROJECTS\s:\gnweed\haloge

    n\pcb

     

    it doesn't work and says:

     

    J:\program files (x86)\eagle-6.4.0\project\S:\gnweed\halogen\pcb 

     

    doesn't exist...do you want to  create it, etc, etc...maybe I should say

    yes.

    note that eagle is on the J drive, my project is on the S drive

  • Try to add your project folder in Eagle directories if its not already there, to make it show up in eagle.

    In Eagle Control Panel window, chose Options/Directories...

    In projects you can add your project folder and so that itl looks like this: $EAGLEDIR\projects;s:\halo
