Copy schematics and boards into a new design?

Community PCB Design

Hi there,

I have a design, say A, in EAGLE. I want to start another design B based on A. I want to exactly copy design A and rename it and then make modification to it. How do you do that?, copy a complete design, schematics, and board? Thanks

Well, it sounds like you could just open the existing schematic/board, and File → Save As, giving it a new name.

If you want to copy parts of the board/schematic, here’s a recent discussion

Here’s how I do it.

Create new project B.

Copy project A.sch and project A.brd to project B folder.

Rename project A.sch to project B.sch

Rename project A.brd to project B.brd

Open project B

Open project B.sch

Save project B.sch

Open project B.brd

Save project B.brd
