directory troubles

e14candies
e14candies over 13 years ago

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.

    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

    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
