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

    Are you sure you put the library where you think you did?  Win7 and it's

    ever handy "virtual store" where you put something one place, windows

    actually puts it somewhere else in the "virtual store" under your account

    and then another process not running as you can't find it.  It may be a

    protection thing biting you if you are trying to put the libraries in the

    main path instead of a path under your account.  See

    http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/222389-what-virtual-store-folder.html

    (I have been bitten by this one several times in the past).  I like

    Unix/Linux - it will tell you "no" if you don't have permission.  Windows

    just sweeps it under the carpet and does not tell you it has done that. image

    I don't know how to check this what you pointing. My Eagle is installed on D disk (D:/program files/Eagle 7.7.0 , library and project file is placed inside eagle folder

      (library is $EAGLEDIR\lbr) . And I see that tree in win explorer, I don't know what else to check.

     

    BTW , I reinstalled complete EAGLE (with antivirus disabled), but nothing changed.

    I try to import other library (file is inside folder "Zoran_custom" visible on images above), there are some elements that I created long time ago, and this

    library appear normally in Add list.

    So obviously problem is with exactly this library "switch-ck.lbr", and problem is present only on my laptop at Work, at home I don't have such problem with this same file.

    Very strange
