    The best way is to set your news reader to get all messages. In June

    there was a good thread found with search for lib edit using

    thunderbird. Or use the forums http://www.eaglecentral.ca/ which I never

    use.

     

    It is general recommendation to not edit the cadsoft libs as when you

    update you will loose your changes. Make your own lib and copy them as

    needed and verify they match your need.

    Open the destination library, then,

    Open Eagle's control panel and expand the library tree.

    Go to the library/part that you want to copy, drag and drop the part (or

    just the symbol or package) into the destination library.
