create project from exist ing .sch and .brd files?

gpsmikey

Greetings - clearly I am using the wrong keyword search - it must be a

simple process.  For example, on Github, there is a .sch and .brd file for

the Adafruit Huzzah board.  I can download the files, but I can't find the

incantation to create a project from the two files.  I can create a project

easily and I can copy the two files into the project folder, but the

project does not seem to know about the files.  It is easy to find info on

creating a new schematic in a project, but I have not been able to find how

to import the existing files into the project so it sees them.  (I have the

non-profit license).

 

Thanks!

    Not really.. You need an .epf file to really display the folder as a

    project in the control panel, but they do not have a strong dependancy.

     

    Usually when I download .brd and .sch files, I copy one of my .epf files

    from another project to the same folder. Only then, the folder will

    appear as a project folder in the control panel.

     

    Of course, when I open this project folder first time, it will try to

    open the last .sch and .brd used for the copied project, wich will be

    empty, but you can safely close them and click the brd or sch files in

    the project folder (while this project is open). Now the .epf will be

    tied to the downloaded .brd and .sch.

     

    Note, the .epf will remember certain parameters, like window positions,

    last opened .brd and .sch files, drill diameters used and such. Also

    note that some parameters get lost if you close a brd or sch while the

    project is open. This is an annoying side effect of the way "projects"

    are handled in Eagle.
