<title>EAGLE Help: Control Panel</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<font face=Helvetica,Arial>
<hr>
<i>EAGLE Help</i>
<h1><center>Control Panel</center></h1>
<hr>
The Control Panel is the top level window of EAGLE.
It contains a tree view on the left side, and an information window on the right side.
<p>
<b>Directories</b>
<p>
The top level items of the tree view represent the various types of EAGLE files.
Each of these can point to one or more directories that contain files of that type.
The location of these directories can be defined with the <a href=13.htm>directories dialog</a>.
If a top level item points to a single directory, the contents of that directory will
appear if the item is opened (either by clicking on the little symbol to the left, or by
double clicking the item). If such an item points to more directories, all of these
directories will be listed when the item is opened.
<p>
<b>Context menu</b>
<p>
The <a href=12.htm>context menu</a> of the tree items can be accessed by clicking on them with the right
mouse button. It contains options specific to the selected item.
<p>
<b>Descriptions</b>
<p>
The <i>Description</i> column of the tree view contains a short description of the
item (if available). These descriptions are derived from the first non-blank line
of the text from the following sources:
<p>
<table>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Directories</font></td> <td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>a file named DESCRIPTION in that directory</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Libraries</font></td> <td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>the description of the library</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Devices</font></td> <td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>the description of the device</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Packages</font></td> <td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>the description of the package</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Design Rules</font></td> <td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>the description of the design rules file</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>User Language Programs</font></td> <td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>the text defined with the <tt>#usage</tt> directive</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Scripts</font></td> <td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>the comment at the beginning of the script file</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>CAM Jobs</font></td> <td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>the description of the CAM job</font></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<b>Drag&drop</b>
<p>
You can use <i>Drag&Drop</i> to copy or move files and directories within the
tree view. It is also possible to drag a device or package to a schematic, board or library
window, respectively, and drop it there to add it to the drawing. User Language Programs
and Scripts will be executed if dropped onto an editor window, and Design Rules will be
applied to a board if dropped onto a board editor window. If a board, schematic or
library file is dropped onto its respective editor window, it will be loaded into the
editor.
All of these functions can also be accessed through the <i>context menu</i>
of the particular tree item.
<p>
<b>Information window</b>
<p>
The right hand side of the Control Panel displays information about the current item
in the tree view. That information is derived from the places listed above under
<i>Description</i>. Devices and packages also show a preview of their contents.
<p>
<b>Pulldown menu</b>
<p>
The Control panel's <i>pulldown menu</i> contains the following options:
