Open Sch & Brd files together

k.portman

Is there a way to open an existing Sch & Brd file together, by default.

When I double click either Sch or Brd file name on the Eagle Control

Panel it asks "Do you also want to load xxx.brd?" (or xxx.sch). I always

respond Yes, sofar never had a need to respond No.

 

Is there a eaglerc.usr setting to force (or make as default behaviour)

the opening of Brd & Sch files together. If not, could it be

implemented. Much requested for!!!

    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.

     

    Yes! This is exactly what I was after. I agree that the eagle.epf

    solution would get me there, but it would add a new layer of directory

    structure I don't need/want. Also browsing older versions that I keep in

    the same folder is still not solved.

     

    I still don't see any need (99,9% of times) for opening just one of the

    sch/pcb files. I would prefer either to have an option in the

    eaglerc.usr file or maybe pressing shift or ctrl key to get the

    confirmation box before opening the design files (as currently happens

    always).

     

    Also for newbies (not my case) it would be much simpler and safer to

    open both sch & brd files always. Avoiding inconsistencies between sch

    & brd files.
