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!!!

    Therefore there shouldn't be a choice or at least it should default to

    silently opening both. For the rare cases where a expert user really wants

    just one open, it's easy enough to close one of the two. However you've

    prevented people getting themselves into trouble in the normal and far far

    more common cases.

     

    Fully agreed. I think that a new option in the eaglerc is the best

    alternative sofar. As there has been also other options added lately via

    the eaglerc (like ctrl-right-click behaviour), should be a valid way to

    do it.

     

    I would also propose to make as default to open both brd/sch together,

    would make newbie users life simpler and safer. Those who have had to

    repair broken sch/brd file contents (suppose all posters on this thread)

    know that it can be a daunting experience.
