Using multiple schematic symbols for one device

Question

Hi all,

Quick question about custom library creation under Eagle 7.4.0:

I am trying to create a simple 1x2, .1" spaced male header. When placing this part, I would like to be able to choose between one of two symbols to place on the schematic (either in-line, or perpendicular, see images).

Is it possible to achieve this functionality without creating a separate device?

Thanks.

As far as I know, you will need to create 2 devices.

Name examples: 1) hdr1x2_inline 2) hdr1x2_perp
