Can't find MY Library Folder

celestine
celestine over 6 years ago

Hello   I  m totally new to Eagle but I have used Autodesk's TinkerCad   so I have use some CAD (however basic) before.

 

I am totally frustrated with even the most basics ops of Eagle.

I tried to draw a new schematic, so I selected <NEW> and <schematic>.

I went to ADD (a part) and I cannot find MY library.

The only library that opens is the Eagle one (managed).

How do I find MY library folder after hitting ADD?

I know it's there because I can see it in the control panel. Thanks

 

OK...so I found the part (Nixie Tube 1n-14)  and I want to use the "pin-out" pattern (Shown in the upper right corner)

But when I hit OK the other pattern is used, the one in Red (and I don't even know what that is).

So how can I get the tube pin out pattern onto my schematic? Thanks

    Hi Patricia,

    basically in a first statement you should mention your operating system

    and the eagle version so others know "what you are talking about" image

     

      In windows basically in control-panel/options you should place the

    paths to your libraries separated by semicolons.

    I'm using a non AD-Version of eagle, so I don't know if MY lib exist

    from beginning or it must be created by you, In any case check the

    control panel options.

     

    btw. hit F1 key for help

    Im using Windows 10

    Eagle 9.6.2

     

    As for the rest of what you said to do....really I have no idea what you telling me to do.

    Shouldn't I be able to click on "libraries" tab at the top of the schematic page and just open the folder I need?
