Creating Subfolders in Libraries

wba254 — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 17:40:03 GMT

Hello, I am currently creating my own library for EAGLE. I want to create "sub folders" in my library, similar to this picture:

I have looked through this forum, and looked online, and cannot find a straightforward tutorial on how to achieve this. I also tried to find it myself manually, but cannot find any option to create a subfolder.

Any pointers here would be great, thanks guys

There are no "sub-folders" in Eagle libraries. What you are seeing in the RCL library is something else entirely.

The "C_EU" is a single part, with a single schematic symbol, but a large number of associated packages / footprints.

The "C_TRIMM" is another single part with a single symbol but many footprints.

And so on.

Thanks! I'll look for a tutorial on how to do just that. I do feel like it would be easier to have a sub-folder system.
