Eagle 4.14

I don't get this thread at all. There's an assumption that symbols or footprints require library files which is incorrect. So, the assumption that an old particular version of EAGLE is required based on that, is also not the case.

The OP mentions that version 5 of EAGLE was missing symbols. Maybe they were actually not in the original project(s). They were created by students after all. Some screenshot would help but OP doesn't seem to want to share any example to demonstrate the problem.

It makes no sense to seek such a particular ancient version of EAGLE. Simply use a more recent version, then save the file in the most recent format. Then import into the CAD package of your choice (e.g. KiCad if you wish - your choice).

Hi Oppie51,

Thank you very much for sharing. Unfortunately it is not possible to access the ftp.cardsoft.de server with the anonymous account.

found by searching for cadsoft ftp.

Hi Oppie51,

Thank you for sharing this link, but also the CadSoftUsa.com website on archive.org has downloads pointing to files on the ftp service that have not been archived.

I posted a link to archive.org for cadsoftusa.com from 2015. later in this thread. Hope that works.

Try searching the internet wayback machine. At archive.org 

Here's a snap from 2015

I'm sorry shabaz but I can't publish the project files because I may be committing some violation of the privacy of the members of the robotics group. And eventually they used schematics for which they did not have authorization. I do not wish to expose any less legal situation just for our curiosity.

Hi shabaz,

Thank you very much for your tips.
I don't think it will be necessary to bother the community with the projects we find, as they should be very simple projects and if we spend some time I think that with some research we could eventually find them on the Internet.
For example, one of the projects we have already managed to recover is a "Dimmer light" and the others must be similar things.

Best regards

That file is not important in this context. If you post the files, it will save everybody some time quickly checking them for you, if you are having difficulty opening them yourself. If it is commercially sensitive then I understand, but you mentioned it is some old uni project.

Hi dougw,

I understand that, but then how do you explain that some components do not appear in the schematic?
In the .epf file of the projects I have two lines that lead me to confirm what I had already mentioned.

[Globals]
UsedLibrary="C:/Eagle/EAGLE-4.14/lbr/0_ESCCB.lbr"
UsedLibrary="C:/Eagle/EAGLE-4.14/lbr/All_Free.lbr"

These libraries do not exist by default in any version of Eagle, this may mean that we will not be able to reconstruct the schematics of the projects found.

Best regards.
