Open Sch & Brd files together

Start board and schematic, then run an ERC that compares board and

schematic. If board and schematic are consistent, save board and

schematic (both have to be loaded for this). If you now close your

project and re-open it, EAGLE should load both files without comment.

Appreciate all the feedback... but my problem is not in making Sch & Brd

consistent. It's a more practical problem / annoyance / suggestion for

making design navigation easier...

I tend to keep several designs in a single Eagle Project folder (maybe

several versions of the same board). Some of my systems are composed of

several boards (front panel + back plane). I would keep all such designs

under the same Eagle Project folder.

I often have to navigate between these designs, or maybe even check some

older versions. I open the designs by double clicking on either Brd or

Sch file on Eagle Control Panel (under Projects). In this scenario Eagle

always asks a confirmation to open the respective brd/sch file. I alwaus

want to open both, never just the odd brd/sch alone. How can I achieve

this without having to answer Yes to the (redundant) "Do you also want

to load brd/sch" question?

Maybe with a new line in the eaglerc.usr like:

AutoOpenSameNameBrdAndSchWithoutAsk = "1"

You might want to add another layer of organization underneath your

eagle project folder.

MyProject/FrontPanel

MyProject/BackPlane

Essentially one folder for each schematic.  Each folder would contain

its own eagle.epf

I see what you're trying to do - double-click a schematic and have the

board always open as well without question, and vice versa.  The

bottom line is that it can't be done.  But using the eagle project file

eagle.epf will get you pretty close.

Enjoy,
