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!!!

    We create a electronics project. Eagle should have support for files related

    to electronics; nothing less, nothing more.

     

    Who defines which file types are "related to electronics"?

     

    I prefer another definition: Eagle should have support for files related

    to /EAGLE/. See the difference?

     

    Since the epf is in the same folder, the user could open the epf file

    instead of the brd or sch.

     

    and the same novice user will copy only "eagle.epf" file to USB stick, to

    give to a friend the "schematic, board and all it needs"

    Why? because this is the file he uses to open the project.

     

    What would your stupid novice user do when he tries to give his friend

    the files of his latest software development? Copy only the project file

    of the IDE, without all the sources etc.?

    If that novice is /that/ stupid, he will need to copy the correct files

    in a second try - and hopefully learn from that. You can't protect

    novices from every stupidity.

     

    However, this detail discussion is somewhat meaningless here - there are

    more relevant, basic issues that should be addressed first (see the new

    thread in the suggest group).
