8O Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Not sure if I'm in the right forum page here, and a search didn't show that this has been posted before, so...I just upgraded Eagle to the latest version 5.4.0 and while the brd files for the PIC and STM core boards open fine, I get an error when trying to open the brd files for ain, din and dout. Error from Eagle is:Eagle for Mac OS X can't update file xxxxx (data structure is older than version 4.11)Anyone else seeing the same problem?
Schrittmacher Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 yes here the same problem! newest veresion of eagle light!
jimh54 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I had the same problem. A workaround is to open them in the PC version and resave them. Then the mac version will open them. I used parallels to get the pc version, but you could probably use any of the emulators to do the same.
stryd_one Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 yes here the same problem! newest veresion of eagle light! There's your problem. Use Eagle v4 ;)
8O Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 Sometimes the obvious answer is the right one! :) :)
Goblinz Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 There's your problem. Use Eagle v4 ;)7 Workaround != fix/Goblinz ducks out of Stryds way :D
stryd_one Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 LOL :DYeh, these are Eagle 4 files, using Eagle 4 is the correct solution; using Eagle 5 to convert them after downloading is the workaround...On that topic.... I've seen quite a few eagle 4 users denounce v5... Is it something in particular that makes it not-so-hot?
nILS Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 For me it's: * The UI actually got worse. It runs a lot slower than 4.x on pretty much any Windows machine I tried it on (supposedly this is not the case on MacOS) * The new drawing algorithm limits the selection of useful colors even further as most color combinations just lead to an unreadable mess. * A lot of commands have been moved into popup menus that were not there on 4.x, which means a lot of extra mouse moving and clicking. That doesn't really sound all that bad, but it's incredibly annoying when you're tweaking a layout and spend 30% of the time clicking menu items that weren't necessary or even there at all before.
