Have a question about CadSoft EAGLE?  Ask our Expert, Jorge!

Jorge,

Can you please refer me to a comprehensive manual(.pdf preferred) for EAGLE Professional 6.5 in English?

The ones I have been able to get are either incomplete, or are written in German.

I appreciate having the community here for help but I am not the one to bother people thus opting to study a well-written OEM guide.

It has been many years since I have used EAGLE for any work project. I am almost ready to give up on EAGLE and buy Orcad which I was company trained to utilize.

All I need is a complete guide.

Thank you in advance,

Emjay

Emjay: You have seen the manual PDFs that are installed with Eagle, at [Eagle Install Directory]\doc\manual_en.pdf, and also tutorial_en.pdf?

My apologies. The version is 6.3 not 6.5. And yes I have. The technical writing is not coherently structured to seamlessly flow from process to process in detail.

Thanks,

Emjay

If anybody has found anyway around that I would be more than happy to

know how to do it.

I don't know for certain, but I think somehow there might be some kind of coordination between the EAGLE Central account and the Element14 account.  When I post from either place, it seems to be correctly attributed.  (For example, I posted this from the EAGLE Central site: Re: Essay on the Eagle Interface   You can tell by the signature block where it came from.)  You might contact James to see if that's it.  (NOTE: I don't access the NNTP groups directly.)

I'd love to see a solution to posting lists and source code snippets so that they can be read on both/either Element14 and EAGLE Central.  For example, I posted these Element14 links from Element14:

Element14: Re: Essay on the Eagle Interface

But nothing showed up on the NNTP feed:

EAGLE Central Forums: eagle.suggest.eng » Essay on the Eagle Interface

Same for source code snippets.  Github gists look good on Element14, but don't seem to get propagated to the NNTP groups...

Jorge often posts as "CadSoft Guest", so actually the reply you read may

have been from him.
