− | Once installed, these Part Libraries can be viewed with
| + | Please find new page here: |
− | the Library Browser so that parts can be inserted into
| + | |
− | your drawings (start LibreCAD, then
| + | |
− | select: "View > Toolbars > Library Browser").

− | WARNING: though these DXF files have been tested,
| + | |
− | scanned and re-worked in a Linux environment, we cannot
| + | |
− | guarantee that they will be entirely free from
| + | |
− | malicious code which could destroy your data or damage
| + | |
− | your computer system.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The easiest method of installation, which does not
| + | |
− | require Administrator or root privileges, is to create
| + | |
− | a new folder named "library" on your Desktop or in your
| + | |
− | Documents. Download any of these Part Libraries and
| + | |
− | unzip (Extract) them into the new "library" folder, then
| + | |
− | go up a level, right-click on the folder's icon and
| + | |
− | select "Properties". The path to this
| + | |
− | folder (Location) should be something similar to
| + | |
− | "C:\Documents and Settings\Guest\Desktop" or
| + | |
− | "/home/guest/Documents", therefore the full path to the
| + | |
− | unzipped Part Libraries within it would be
| + | |
− | "C:\Documents and Settings\Guest\Desktop\library" or
| + | |
− | "/home/guest/Documents/library". Make a note of this
| + | |
− | full path, Restore LibreCAD,
| + | |
− | select: "Edit > Application Preferences > Paths",
| + | |
− | type the full path into the box marked "Part Libraries",
| + | |
− | select "OK", then re-start LibreCAD.

− | Most of these electronic symbols (Electronic3-LCAD)
| + | |
− | are similar to the Philips-Mullard format that was in
| + | |
− | use from 1970 to 1990 and most are still in use today.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Files were originally created as part of a college
| + | |
− | project (Electronic1, 2006) using AutoCAD, but they
| + | |
− | have been re-worked and saved using LibreCAD to ensure
| + | |
− | compatibility with QCAD, LibreCAD, and FOSS (Free
| + | |
− | Open-Source Software).
