How to add an existing schematic to a project

Question

When starting a new project, how can I add an existing schematic into the project?

Another way of stating this-- if I have a schematic and board file, how can I add a project file to the directory so Eagle sees them as a project?

Open the project, then open the existing schematic. Then close the

project (or close Eagle) and that schematic is now associated with the

project. You may want to copy the .sch and .brd files into the project

folder first.

Copy an eagle.epf file from another project into the same place as the

schematic and board, and the folder becomes a project. You will have to

open this project then open the correct schematic, to get round it being

the wrong EPF. Unfortunately, while a completely empty epf file will

make the folder look like a project, it won't be possible to open it.
