This is a new problem with Eagle. I hope it is not considered OT, as this thread has sort of become a place for Eagle problems.
In Eagle 4.14, I created a "New Schematic" using a standard FRAME and DOCFIELD from the Eagle library. I also added a few very common parts to speed up the process of making a new schematic. In practice, I would just open New Schematic, save it under the name of whatever new thing I was doing and proceed. Never a problem.
I updated to Eagle 5.2 recently, and find that it is automatically and sporadically changing information in the DOCFIELD. It deleted the top field ("Company Name"), changes the title field, and totally screws up the date field. Everything except the date field can be fixed. I use the date field to list the initiation date, and the rev. field to keep track of changes. When Eagle deletes or changes the Date field, I have no way at present to recover that information.
I put in a call to Cadsoft, but the technical expert is on his boat, and a 3-way conversation with the receptionist, tech person via ship-to-shore, and me just wasn't getting anywhere.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there a cure?
