EagleConfig

My Autodesk EAGLE config scripts w/custom shortcuts etc, for Mac and Windows

Installation

1. Close EAGLE
2. Navigate to your EAGLE installation folder, mine is in Documents/EAGLE_9.x.x
3. Navigate to the "scripts" folder within that directory
4. Rename the existing eagle.scr folder to eagle_original.scr
5. Copy eagleWin.scr or eagleMac.scr to the scripts folder, depending on whether you're using Windows or Mac. The only difference is the line extensions.
6. • Windows: you need to run the following command inside the scripts directory in order to fix issues with the line endings and the way they are parsed by EAGLE. TYPE eagleWin.scr | MORE /P > eagle.scr. See here for more info.
   • Mac: just rename eagleMac.scr to eagle.scr. The line endings should work out of the box.
7. Reopen EAGLE, you should be all set!
