Pad size

1. I didn't succeed to copy the pad, top, bottom, top solder mask, bottom

solder mask polygons all together so I done it one by one

You need to group them with the group tool first, then go into copy mode, right click on one of the items in the group and select 'copy group' from the menu.

2. In the saved package, is still see the polygons and the pad and not a

pad of 70/56 mill

When you say in the saved package, where are you viewing this? If you've just created this package in the library you should see it in the library browser but you need to do a few more things to get it associated with the actual component.

3. Tried to replace the package of the PIC18F1847-I/P in my drawing with my

new package, followed the manual step by step with no success.

4. Tried to add the package to the PIC18F1847F-I/P without success.

In general, the manual assumes that you know a lot of things already, don't

have step by step procedures.

Have you created the new package in the same library as your PIC part that you are using? Have you added that package as a variant to the part itself so it's available for selection? If you haven't then this is your problem. The procedure to do this is as follows:

1. Open up your library containing the PIC and your new package (they must be in the same .lbr file)

2. Open the PIC device to view its symbol and packages

3. Click on the 'New' button in the bottom right.

4. Single click on the new package you have created from the list.

5. Give this new package a variant name.

6. Click on 'OK'. Your new variant will appear in the list on the right hand side but it won't have a green tick against it.

7. Double click on your variant in the list.

8. Assign the pins in the resulting dialog by using the 'copy from' drop down to select the mapping from the existing part or manually mapping them yourself if your pin numbering doesn't quite match the original.

I am using WinQcad for many years, was/I am very happy with the software

but I suppose you know they existence ended a few years ago and I found

Eagle to be the most affordable and serious medium level SCH/PCB software,

also used by Elelent14 and SpakFun.

I have a total of some 50 Packs I am using and would like to have them in

Eagle, most pads are 70/56 mill and round 56 mill (given by Eagle)

EAGLE has it's usability quirks and when you are very familiar with another tool and know you can do something quickly in that tool then it can be frustrating. It does get easier and once you get used to the methodology used by EAGLE it does actually become relatively quick for a lot of things. But there is a learning curve and it take patience and practice. Keep at it and you'll get there, and if you have any more questions just ask :-)
