Names of pins are not showing when connecting the package

When you created the part, did you add the symbol to the part? It looks

like you possibly didn't.  Alternatively how did you create the pins on the

symbol? More pictures or the library adding here would be helpful.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to make my own Device,

 

I have created the symbol and the package, when trying to connect the

symbol to the package I don't see the names of the pins eventhough I

named them carefully (as shown in the picture below)

)

 

any Idea, thanks

You have to set the "visible" parameter for each pin.

From the help for the pin command...

Quote:

Visible

This parameter defines if pin and/or pad name are visible in the

schematic:

 

Off

 

pin and pad name not drawn

Pad

 

pad name drawn, pin name not drawn

Pin

 

pin name drawn, pad name not drawn

Both

 

pin and pad name drawn

 

Default: Both

To do a group change:

Select the group command Click and drag a rectangle OR multi-click a

polygon around all of the pins Type "change visible both" --where both is

the value you want to see both pin number and pad name Apply the command to

the group.  By default this is CTRL/CMD and right-click (I prefer the old

right-click that you can get back by using the SET command)

James,

Hi, I created the pins on the symbol:

@rachaelp : How do I add the symbol to the part?

In the library editor click on the device button and select your device

from the list and open it.

You'll now see a window with three areas. The top left is the area which

will show any added symbols, below that shows any description and any

device attributes and to the right is where you specify packages and

variants.

On the left hand side there is a tool bar and on there you will find the

add button. In Eagle 7.x it looks like an AND gate with a + symbol on top

and a downwards black arrow. Click on that. You'll now see a list of all

the symbols in your library. Select your symbol for this part and click OK.

You will then be prompted to place it down in the top left area much like

when you place a symbol on a schematic.

Once you have done this the pin names should appear in your list for

assigning footprint pins to them.

There are some really good tutorials on the internet showing you the basics

of building your own library parts. Try these two as a starting point:

Hope this helps,
