Modify footprint/mask of a component

salomonreinach

Hi ! I'm new to Eagle and I have to do some modifications on a PCB. I have the .brd and .sch files of a project and I made some modifications. One of the modifications I want to do is to change the cream mask of a component. I exported the library from the .sch but I still can't access to my component from the .brd, I get an error saying that it can't find the library path. So I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of how I could modify the mask and the footprint of a component knowing that I didn't create the project, I just took it from a previous work.

 

I also tried to edit my component in the library manager and place it in my schematic deleting the wrong one but when I switch to the board it doesn't appears and I have some errors saying that board and schematic are not consistent.

If have any ideas I take them ! Thank you for your time and your help image

    If you export the library then you still need to tell it to use the new

    library. This is done under the library heading on the menu. If you want

    to use the part from the newly exported library then use the Replace

    command in the schematic.

     

    For the incositencies run the ERC and it will tell you what does not match.
