How to open project in eagle 5.4 which is created in Ver6.0

e14 Contributor

When I use Ver6.0 in win7 64bit it always crashed and have to restart app. to solve this big issue. So i go back to eagle5.4 version.

But it has another problem i can't open the project in Ver5.4 which is created in Ver6.0.

So who can help me to close this issue--open the project created in Ver6.0 in Ver5.4 eagle??

Thanks a lot.

    Arrgh - was going to mention those files. However, I would've gone to the backup I made before upgrading to 6.0 that I'm sure everyone did image

     

    (No, I didn't make a backup either image - but then I do have Time Machine doing them for me)

    If all that fails, delete the project.sch and project.brd files (or move

    them) and rename your project s#1 and project b#1 files to project.sch and

    project.brd. You may need to work on them to make them consistent.

    Since the file formats have changed, you won't be able to open any .brd or

    .sch files that have been saved in 6.0 - and the eagle.epf file will also

    not be openable (the same is true of the library files - if you've edited

    them).

     

    If your .brd or .sch files are still in 5.x format, then you may be able

    to delete the eagle.epf file and try opening the .brd/.sch.

     

    If you created a completely new project in 6.0, then you will not be able

    to open that in 5.x. (Since I've done a bit of work with the 5.x format, I

    have contemplated writing a converter for 6.0 back to 5.x, but as I don't

    have the need for it, it's not a priority for me).
