Not using Eagle Schematic Capture

autodeskguest

Hi,

 

I use Mentor Graphics Design Capture as my schematic entry package.  I am in

the process of finishing a ULP to import the netlist format to place parts

and import the nets (will probably finish today).

 

Do I have to create a schematic symbol in Eagle for each part in my library

even though I'm not using Eagle's schematic entry?

 

If this is the case, then this is a major short-coming of the software.

I've used probably 6 different PCB CAD packages and I've never seen anything

quite like the arrangement of your library database.  Quite frankly, the

hierarchy needs to be changed.

 

Thanks for any help.

    If you're not useng EAGLE's schematic capture, then you don't

    have to create schematic symbols. You can use just the packages.

    Why would that be?
