New element in library don't show

zoks
zoks over 9 years ago

Hi,

 

I created a new lbr file from here

https://github.com/robertstarr/lbr_user/blob/master/switch-ck.lbr

I placed this lbr file i Eagle lbr folder, and in control panel I can see elements in a library.

 

But when I open schematic, and click "Add" i cant find it in a list

I performed "Library=>Use" and "Library=>Update All" but still I can't see it in "Add" list

    What I do when adding a library is : on the schematic window select the "Library" menu and "Use" from the drop down.... then select the library you want to use.

    After this the Add device menu will include the new library....

    I do in a same way (Library => Use , than library appear in Add list), and I newer had a problem before, but now it is not working.

    BTW, I forger to mention, Eagle version 7.7.0

    I'm not sure that I properly done file creation from this github link above, since that "download" is not working correctly (I get unusable HTML document),

    I click on RAW, Select all (Ctrl + A), Copy, and Paste in empty notepad document, which I named switch-ck.lbr . Placed under Eagle LBR folder (...lbr/Github/switch-ck.lbr).

    In past I made lbr. files from that source several times in that way and I don't remember that I had such problems.

    Like I said, I control panel I can see this library (see screenshoot)
