PCB schematic capture basics (part-1)

Schematic capture Part-2

Very soon after you start the schematic you should SAVE it.
If you simply press SAVE, the Windows file management window will open with a "Save in" command line and a window below showing the recent files saved. Click on the scroll-arrow for the Save-In window, and select "EAGLE". A revised window opens with a list of files within Eagle; scroll down to "Projects"Left-click; press OPEN then the list changes to show the Project folders within Eagle.

If this new schematic should go into a new project folder, left-lick on the Create-New-Folder icon and the new folder will appear at the end of the Project folder list with its name high-lighted for you to enter a new name (other than "new folder". Type in the name of the folder and press ENTER (RETURN).If you now look at the Project list in Eagle, the new folder will be in its alphabetical position. Left-click on the folder and see the schematic listed there. Open the schematic and continue working it.

You save a few keystrokes by going to File, then selecting "Save as".

From here on, when you work on the schematic and pres SAVE, the file is invisibly saved and you can keep working.
