Searching for a package in the libraries

autodeskguest

I am really new to eagle, like 2 days or so, but I am looking for a better

way to find the package i need from the libraries, so that i can coppy it

and make a new part. I have made one so far but it is a pain to search for

the right  package. I know i could just make my own but i dont trust my self

to the the measurements right, mabe after i print off this board.

 

Right now i am looking for the (SMD-220, TO-263) package for a diode but

there dose not seem to be one in the doide.lbr. i have also searched a few

other places and have not come up with anything.

 

 

Thanx

    Also before you make a board check to see if you can buy the part and

    then the data sheet to see if the lib is correct for your type of board

    and how you are going to place the parts.

    It is best to copy parts to your lib and in the process verify it with a

    data sheet. But some of the smaller parts (8 pins or less) it is quicker

    to just make the part from the data sheet.

    To exactly place pads and lines use the numeric input method.
