Eagle 6 lbr conversion?

Former Member

Hi,

 

I recently had to go back down to Eagle 5, as 6 would constantly crash during layouts and now my custom libraries no longer work in 5. Has 6 done some sort of conversion on them? And if so, does anyone know of a way to get them working back in 5?

 

Thanks,

Parents

    What cave have you been living in for the last year?  Yes, Eagle 6 uses

    totally different file formats.  In general, new versions can read old

    files, but old versions can't read new files.  Eagle 6 is no different.

    I don't think so.  Just go back to your old libraries.

     

    Maybe you can export some things to scripts, then run those scripts on

    Eagle 5, but there are probably problems with this.
