Repository of Object Libraries

This page includes all the libraries of objects created by users of xcircuit and sent to me to be made publically available. Help keep this page growing!

Online Tutorial

A gentle introduction guiding you through all the standard and advanced features of the program.

The tutorial is available as a tarred, gzipped file for download and safekeeping:
tutorial.tar.gz

A separate tutorial which covers features of and issues specific to circuits and schematic capture. Includes parameter substitution and netlist generation (about 80 percent complete, but covers the main features).

Note: This tutorial has changed slightly as of version 2.2, to reflect changes in the way schematics and symbols are associated, and the change in menu selections and macros implementing those features. A quick review is recommended for anyone who has been using schematic capture under version 2.0 and 2.1.
