Maybe its just me but it only took me about 30 minutes to
learn eagle without reading a single page of documentation. I think
it was REALLY weird at first and not the same interface as most windows
applications (actually most applications, period). However, once
you figure it out (which doesn't take that long, really) the software is
very homogenous and well-thought out. Also, I'd suggest the book
"Build Your Own Printed Circuit Board" by "Al
Williams". I picked this up recently as it goes through the
whole design process and features eagle. -Aaron At 12:04 PM 1/18/2004, you wrote: I'm not disagreeing with you but it is very feasible to build a UI |

so, you figured out the clipboard interface right off the bat?

Hi guys, Had to add the revised subject line. I've seen some new virus running around in some groups with the subject as 'hi' and I just didn't want to miss the posts. Besides, now we can search teh archives and find this thread. Dave --- In , "Phil" <phil1960us@y...> wrote: > Unfortunately, Wouter, us Americans don't know English.
