Create Fil Files

Well as you know, the Eagle / Activant software has basically 2 different "Versions" that all pretty much operate at the same time, ( Eagle Legacy ) and ( Eagle for windows )

The first step for fil files is "DEF" in "Network Access"

Ok, Navigation in DEF,

I do not have all the features ironed out yet, but from trial and error

this is what works:

Display or Pause - To Display Fil File
Query or F9  - To Browse the Various Hard Set Fields
ADD or F4 - To Add a Fil File once you Typed in a Name/Title/Field #
Next/Prev or F7/F8 - To scroll through the Fil Files

TO Create a new Fil File, Just Type a Report Definition Name

Then make a Title for it. Next put something(a number) in for a field

number.  With out something in there it will not allow you to add a new FIL File.

Now click on "ADD" or Tap the F4 key on the keyboard

AT this point sure you cold manual set up all the fields in this same window

but it gets quite complicated.

The other solution is to just use " FIL " in windows

Open up Eagle Browser for windows:

and type in FIL and enter:

Ok so the Fil file you just made is not in your normal list, nor is the Fil File you

just made, have the Fields Configured.

Next step click on "MISC KPad"
Then click on "Load From DEF"

The new Fil File that you made in "DEF" will be in this list
Highlight it and click on OK.

This next screen allows you to select the fields you want in your new FIL file.
once you hit "OK" those fields will be saved, and you have now configured
your Fil File.

You can check out your new Fil File by going back into " Network Access "
and typing in FIL and the name of your Fil File.
