creating simple schematic with Eagle

Im trying to understand the basic functions of "eagle" PCB creation
software. Before I buy the full version I want to see what it can / will do.


Unf I can't find the v basic pieces in the libraries - single resistor?
electrolytic cap? simple diode?

why is it all buried so deeply?

You will find resistors, capacitors and inductors in the RCL.lbr library.
Click to expand...
 
First, make sure that the RCL library is selected for use. You can do that from
the Eagle Control Panel by expanding the Libraries folder and making sure that
there is a Green Dot beside the RCL.lbr entry. If not, "Right Click" on RCL.lbr
and select "Use". Only libraries that are selected for use, are available to
add components from.

Then in your schematic click "Add" (AND Gate w/ Cursor in Eagle toolbar), expand
the RCL library and select the resistor package you plan to use. You can change
the package later if you need to by using the "Change Package" command (see
Eagle Help).

If you haven't done so already, spend a few minutes going through the Eagle
Tutorial. I think you will find that it saves you lots of time in the end.

ok. So once I've "opened" that library - do I click "add' to get the part to
drop in? I didn't see it listed there - just lots of esoteric bits.

There is a tutorial you can get from Cadsoft's website that I recommend you
should read through and follow. After that you will have no trouble using
the program and libraries. Regards,

Can someone explain the diff between

net
bus

in Eagle?
