Eagle 7.7 Download

autodeskguest

I have a licensed copy of Eagle V7, but the latest revision I have

downloaded is 7.5. I believe my license authorizes me to obtain the

latest revision of V7. I have no interest in subscribing to V8.

 

How do I obtain the download for the last V7 revision?

    I too am thinking about making the change to KiCad.  The only thing holding me back before the merger was having to rebuild all my libraries.  Now I am thinking it is a small price to pay.

    KiCAD can import Eagle stuff.  I swapped my company over to KiCAD when

    the Eagle rental model came out and we haven't looked back at all.

     

    I'm on the KiCAD developer's mailing list.  The next version is at the

    release candidate stage.  I'm amazed at what they've accomplished.

    Import from Eagle will be MUCH smoother than it is now.

     

    John,

     

    How well does KiCAD handle importing Eagle libraries?

     

    Thanks,

    I've only tried it once as a test.  Worked fine.  Most of my custom

    Eagle library consists of old parts that I don't use anymore.  KiCAD

    libraries are quite complete so when I need a custom symbol, it's

    easier to just do it than fooling around trying to import one item out

    of a library.

    I don't see family that much.  When I used to, I would leave the room they were playing games in and work on something without the sound of dice being rolled!   I mostly work with a customer or friend though. I actually got a LOT of grief from one of my customers when he thought I was not using licensed software.  That is NOT something that I will be allowing to happen again.

    Thanks for the info John!  I have had a bunch of other stuff going on at work, so haven't made the change yet.  I have also heard some great things about the coming release, so am kinda waiting on it.  Easier to just have to figure it out once!
