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

    Which version of Eagle?

     

    When you replaced the component in the schematic, you did also have the

    board open at the same time, I hope. If not, that's your problem. ALWAYS

    keep both editors open together, so that the consistency is

    automatically maintained.

    First check that the original files are consistent, then make a back up

    of them!

    If you work with inconsistent files you run into trouble with lots of work.

    Then follow the advises given here before... and tell us your eagle

    version number.
