This morning i felt like a total idiot.

I am in the library symbol editir and wanted to select all as i am used before in version6.

In EAGLE v7 (and presumably earlier versions) you just select the GROUP command and then drag a group around everything. I'm not aware of a menu option to just do a select all. GROUP ALL (everything on all currently activated layers) Harry, Bear in mind that the "Group All" command does NOT select names and values that are not smashed. I often use the "group all" command to change all the names to the vector font: Make sure the desired layers are active. Disp tNames bNames tOrigins bOrigins; Group all; # Group everything. Smash (C>0 0); # Smash everything in the group. Group all; # Group everything including the smashed names. Change font vector (C>0 0) # change all fonts to vector. Change ratio 15 (C>0 0) # change all ratios to 15%. The C and the > in the coordinates represent a control right-click. Since that operates on the selected group, it doesn't matter where the click occurs. "0 0" is just easiest to type. Prior to the above, I will make sure that both tOrigins and bOrigins are turned on so that all components will be included in the group. The objective of the first "group all" is to select all components - both top and bottom. Then I smash the group, allowing me to select the names. The second "group all" selects the same components as before, /and/ the names. If you're not familiar with entering coordinates on the command line, read section 5.2 of the user manual, or search the manual for "Entering Coordinates as Text". In the 7.7 English manual, it starts on page 95. It is worthy to note that both the 'R' modifier and the 'P' modifier expect coordinates relative to the mark. If the mark is not set, it is assumed to be the origin. The difference between these two is that 'R' expects rectangular coordinates, and 'P' expects polar coordinates. HTH, - Chuck
