For example in the alternate Tin圜AD libraries discussed above the library organization falls into a Type/Group/Part organization. Alternatively you can try to organize all of symbols into logical groups. You should in general add all new symbols to one library - your personal library. Drawing your own symbols is a necessary part of schematic capture. This is regrettable but normal - even if you have a ‘real’ engineering job you’ll find that this is often the case. More often than not you’ll find that a part you need doesn’t exist in the libraries. Now you can start adding the libraries in your My Documents\Tin圜AD Libraries folder:Īnd continue until you’ve added all of them or as many of them as you want. Do this until the whole library dialog is empty: Select, then Remove, then select, then Remove. You’ll have to manually remove each library that’s in the dialog - yep, one at a time. The mouse pointer is centered on the Libraries button - click it to open this dialog: Start up Tin圜AD and you should see a screen like this: Now you need to add all of these new libraries to Tin圜AD and remove the old ones. Create a new directory under My Documents - call it something like Tin圜AD Libraries. The actual libraries are stored in a subdirectory of the ZIP file: \Libraries\TCLib If you click on that link it will download the whole repository containing the Tin圜AD libraries.

Most people rely on making their own symbols anyhow. I prefer to download this set of libraries and use only them, but it’s a matter of preference. The newer, more organized set of libraries can be downloaded by themselves from Github: Ideally they would choose one or the other but such is life. Tin圜AD by default ships with a rather old set of disorganized libraries combined with a new set of more organized libraries. You can start to use Tin圜AD with the default libraries or you can download the latest version of the libraries that I use. The actual installation takes almost no time on my computer. Then all you have to do is select the installation directory - the default should be fine but read the note above if you have any Windows above XP.

The installer is self-extracting and will pretty much install itself once you run it.
Tinycal not syncing windows 8#
As far as I know these issues may be ongoing and Windows 8 is not the best operating system on which to run Tin圜AD. Note to Windows 8 users: As of December 2012 there was an issue with Tin圜AD version 2.80.05 build 619 on Windows 8 where users would be unable to open and save files except by dragging the files onto the Tin圜AD application and using Save As instead of Save.

If you don’t download these libraries please move the Tin圜AD default libraries from the Program Files\Tin圜AD\library to a location under My Documnets or another folder a User will have full permissions to. If you follow this guide you will download a different set of libraries and install them to a different location in a directory where Users have the correct permissions. This is mainly due to the location in which Tin圜AD by default chooses to store its library files. Note to Windows Vista users and above: As of December 2009 (and for reference I’m writing this in January 2013 so it may be fixed - I have no Vista or above to test it out) Tin圜AD had issues regarding new user permissions when running as a User rather than Administrator in Windows Vista and above. Tin圜AD is hosted on SourceForge so it’s always easy to get the latest version: If you want to make things like I do then follow these steps to get on your way. That being said I have a process that allows me to make things and Tin圜AD is a part of it. This is entirely a personal preference and doesn’t match the preferences as a whole of the ‘Maker’ community, professional engineers or sane people. Tin圜AD is my preferred schematic capture program.
