Post by thread:[EE]:Eagle question

When I use the Add tool in Eagle 5.0 to place a part, then search for a part, only the results of the search remain in that window. After placing the part, to see the entire library again, I search for "*", resulting in the entire library being displayed again, with all categories expanded! Is there a shortcut or hot-key to collapse the tree again? -- Regards, Stephen D. Barnes

Instead of searching for "*", just clear the search field and hit enter. BillW

I must have been looking in all the wrong directions for an answer to this before I posted the question. Works great. Again, thank you! -- Regards, Stephen D. Barnes

sure it can, but it was related to the eagle question that was asked...relative to ver 5 of eagle. So...are you using ver 5 yet? If so, whats the upside to using it, if any? --- On Mon, 7/7/08, Olin Lathrop <.....olin_piclistKILLspam@spam@embedinc.com> wrote: {Quote hidden}> From: Olin Lathrop <olin_piclistKILLspamembedinc.com> > Subject: Re: [EE]:Eagle question > To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public." <.....piclistKILLspam.....mit.edu> > Date: Monday, July 7, 2008, 6:39 AM > alan smith wrote: > > Hijacking the thread...since the question was > answered... > > What, your mail program can't start new threads? > > ******************************************************************** > Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, > http://www.embedinc.com/products > (978) 742-9014.
