Library part changes when imported into PCB

Question

Hi

I'm a new user of Eagle (V6.6.0 - have not dared upgrade part way through a project).

I have made a library part which is a PCB coil terminated in vias.

The vias and their drills are very small (less than the standard vias in the PCB editor) and the size is critical.

This coil is used multiple times on two related PCBs (which is why I wanted it as a library part).

When I import the part into the PCB, the coil bit is fine, but the via pads come out larger than they should be (but the drill holes are the correct size).

I would be ever so grateful if someone could point the way top getting the part to import as drawn.

Thanks
