I am upgrading from version 6.4 to 6.6 and would like to keep all looks, design rules, etc. exactly the same. What is the best way to do this?
Thank you,
Sergey

Hi Sergey,
there are 2 files to control eagle: the "eaglerc.usr" and the "eagle.scr".
The last named is in the "scr" subdirectory of eagle.
I don't know anymore where the "eaglerc-usr" is located, since I use
that file with the U-parameter in different directories. (I use
different versions of eagle, that's why 
)
Anyway you can save those files under a different name and replace the
files after installation of the new version.
My suggestion: Install 6.6 besides your 6.4 installation if you use
windows OS.
(Imo U-parameter works only with win)
Description can imo only be found somewhere in "update_eng.txt" located
in doc subdirectory:
"The new command line option '-U' can be used to define the LOCATION of
the 'eaglerc' file in which EAGLE stores user settings".
This is not quite correct, because you can also change the NAME of the
eaglerc.usr.
So my "eaglerc.usr" file for version 6.4.0 has the name "eaglerc-640.usr".
Remember that newer eagle files cannot be opened with older versions of
eagle and once you save an 6.4 file with 6.6 it IS converted.

Hi Joern,
I cannot find eaglerc.usr file anywhere in the EAGLE 6.4.0 folder.
Neither it is present in the EAGLE 6.6.0 folder on another computer.
And the eagle.scr file is a text file that does not seem to contain many settings at all.

Hi Sergey,
if you haven't edited your eagle.scr file it is the standard coming with
eagle.
The eaglerc.usr is most likely in in your user directory that might be:
(system drive lets say C:) /user / your name / AppData / Roaming /
Cadsoft / Eagle /eaglerc.usr
If you can't find it scan the whole computer and/or login as admin.
This is one of the reasons that I use the U-parameter and store the file
in a subdirectory of the corresponding eagle version.
If you just install a new version that place C:( user etc.. will be
overridden.
F:\EAGLE-6.6.0\bin\eagle.exe -U F:\Eagle-6.6.0\eaglerc-660.usr
This is an example that will store the eaglerc.usr (named-600) in the
eagle main directory of version 6.6.0
