Importing a board into EAGLE

Dear all,

I did ask this question a few weeks back, but got no reply, so I am adding info here.

This is an issue that has been bugging me for a while now, if someone could help me, or at least show me how they have done it in the past I would be highly grateful.

So far this is what I have done.

Clicked 'EAGLE files' at the bottom of the APM2.5 product page.

Now, when the download pops up, and select open with EAGLE.

I get this garbled mess!

Ok. Now if I unzip the files, I try the following.

First I get this.

If I click on the two file (which as you can see are BRD or 'board' and SCH of 'schematic' respectively) it comes up with all the gunk above.

Now, if I try draaagging the two files into a new project I get this...

But if I click on one of them, I get this

So I am obviously going very wrong at some crucial point.

Thank you for you time ;).

  • That is interesting.. once I have the *BRD and *.SCH files unzipped, Eagle works fine.

    Unzip them to a folder rather than dragging.

    (I know, it seems it should work by dragging but I have never done it that way.)

    Then open Eagle OR double click on either the *BRD or *.SCH file and Eagle should open up.

    (The file extension should be registered with Eagle and autostart --  at least mine does.)
