New storage location

e14candies

I've been using Eagle for some time and completed several projects, no

problem.

 

Apparently these are all stored in the "same"

c:/users/documents/eagle/specificfolder.... location, each with its own

folder.

For this newest project, I want a totally different path, such as

c:/sam/was/here/project....

How do you select this?  I don't want to change my old projects in any way

or how they are accessed. A different upcoming project will be

c:/bill/was/there/project....

 

Basically, how can you select EXACTLY where each project folder is stored,

with its own independent path?...it seems like Eagle forces you to let it

choose. (Up till now I went along with its automatic guidance system).

 

This rather gut-wrenching experience has me starting to drink deionized

water again.

    What people do here is the following:

      1. If it is not already installed that way, make your OS react to

         double-clicks on any SCH or BRD file by opening EAGLE with the

         clicked file. At least under Windows, that's easily possible.

      2. Do NOT open EAGLE and THEN try to access the folder, but look

         at that folder with your favourite file manager and THEN

         double-click on the desired file, so EAGLE opens up appropriately.

      3. This has the additional advantage (or disadvantage, depending on

         your needs) that every double-clicked design opens a NEW instance

         of EAGLE, so you can look at designs side-by-side.
