Myc,
Well, I don't know what to say at this point except @#%& &$#@ !
I lost my DipTrace example components I made while doing the tutorial
as well. I really like the way you can lay down a string of pads, up
one side and down the other on an IC while making the "package" in
DipTrace.
That's great news on the new DipTrace version, because I did save the
earlier version of the library. I had only added since the last save
a 2SC2078 TO-220 transistor, which is a no-brainer in DipTrace, and
redone my Mini-Circuits double-blanced mixer devices symbols, and made
a couple of IC's (that may very well be in the DipTrace libraries) in
the version I lost.
My problem was that I was using Karen Kenworthy's Replicator as a
backup program. It works fine, but I was trying to filter out all of
the "superceded" files with the funny extensions in EAGLE and backup
only the .sch and .brd files, which represent only the current status
files. I couldn't get it to do that. I sent Karen an email, but she
receives several thousand of them a month, and I had turned off the
daily autobackup in the interim. Rest assured that I am adopting a
new backup strategy!
Regards,
Ted
