searching FOR LIBRARY PARTS IN MULTIPLE SUBDIRECTORIES.

Lennie

I create my footprints in PCB Libraries footprint editor. I creates a subdirectory for each of my footprints. I have to copy the  .DRA .PSM .TXT and .pad files from the subdirectories to the main directory. Is ther a way to have the software look in the library directory and all subdirectories ?

    Not directly as far as "in subdirectories too"...that would be awesome!

    I personally have the .DRA files all categorized in separate directories below the main library path but I put the .psm in the uppermost path.
    The other way to do this is to add each and every individual symbol path to the PSMPATH variable.
