When I click ADD, it opens up an empty window, why mine is empty and yours is full of libraries?

@essedra Watch lesson 12.

nice job. I have a question, can you copy for example o part of a circuit diagram from a project and paste into another project ? thanx in advance

[rpcelectronics]

@pufarinu Yes, you can use the group tool to highlight what you want to copy. They click the cut tool, right click on the highlighted area and choose "cut all". Then open up the new project and use the paste tool, to paste in the cut section. I hate that they use the word "cut" for copying and this is one of the quirks of Eagle. As a native Windows user, most would assume this meant to actually cut that part from the schematic, leaving a void, but it actually copies.

No, przydałoby się po polsku ;D Chociaż program można obczaić metodą prób i błędów :P

nice tutorial. but im missing a lot KEY STROKES. im pretty sure , even i dont know a thing about eagle, that it supports keys to access the most importabt tools and functions. isnt it ? just like the moviing and delete tool or the grouping. aint there a "quicker way" to select, group and delete by using keys?

@essedra Close the ADD window and open it again.

@jukkula9 I'm jealous. I'm going to school for this stuff and it's hard enough -_-. Good luck!
