eagle cad directories

Community PCB Design

I hope this is the place to post an eagle cad question.

I am a long time ExpressPCB software user for my hobby projects and and I am making the switch to Eagle Cad. I have my own way of organizing my project data on my PC and would like to continue using the same organization. I do not wish to store my project files in the default Eagle directories. I would like to change the location where EC saves projects. Is this do-able? I normally keep schematics and PCB files in a separate project folder for each project in the My Documents main folder; like this My Documents > WIC > projname > Schematics and PCBs. I have several other folders in projname such as Misc Tech Docs, where I store data sheets etc. (WIC is the name of my small business - Windsway Instrument Co.)

Can I change EC to follow my way of saving things?

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Did you look at all in the application? From the main Eagle window you select Options → Directories. Change the Projects directory to your custom directory.

You can also update the libraries directory and add a custom directory and it will use both to look up directories. I keep the default directory and add another directory where I keep custom libraries.
