Library management

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I have created custom components & layouts for components that I could not find and I have these spread out in different libraries.

 

Is there a way I can move these individual librarys into a single one to keep them all in one place?

    Hi,

     

    arrange the EAGLE Control Panel and the Library Editor window with the target library on the Desktop so that you can see both windows. Now expand the Libraries entry of the tree view in the EAGLE Control Panel and click onto the Device you want to copy into your target lbr. Drag&Drop the entry into the Library Editor window.

     

    HTH

    Thanks for your help on this. It took some thinking about but I got there in the end.

     

    I would have got back sooner but I have a problem logging in, I can never remember passwords .....

     

     

    Can you tell me if there is a way to save a board shape that can be imported into the layout editor?

     

    I have a spacific PCB shape but I want to lay out different designs on it.

    I assume the board shape is drawn in layer 20 Dimension.
    Display only layer 20 and do a GROUP and COPY with Ctrl + right mouse click into the drawing. Now the board contour is copied into the paste buffer. Open a new board file and use PASTE.

     

    Regards,

    Richard
