Re: [AVR-Chat] Eagle Help ... slightly OT

2005-03-27 by Jim White

Drop does indeed drop libs from use.  The Use command will get them back.

There are two very active forums for Eagle.  Browse to www.cadsoft.de and 
click on Forum.  You will see Technical Support and User Chat.  Click on 
those and your news client will open so you can see the messages.  I use 
Outlook's find feature to search for questions that have been addressed 
before, usually with success.  Otherwise post a question and you will 
almost always get answers. (Don't forget to set your client to read and 
show you all the past messages, there are over a thousand in each going 
back to 2002).

I'd also highly recommend working through the tutorial.  Eagle was a pretty 
steep learning curve for me, the tutorial got me over the first part of it 
quickly.
