Hey there,
I'm quite new to Eagle, so please don't throw rocks if I'm asking something basic.
I've created a custom device and after turning it into a real PCB I realized I need to modify some pads. I looked up the specific package in my library and performed the necessary changes. The problem is now that I can't get Eagle to allow me to use my updated device.
I am attaching a few pics to illustrate the problem:
- SPDT_device_library.png shows the device in my library. I have intentionally edited the pads on the sides to be asymmetrical, so that it would be easy to spot whether the device is updated or not
- Control panel view.png - back to my control panel, when I look inside the library, the old package is being displayed to me
- Using the device.png - not surprisingly, if I use the device in a new project, I get the old package with symmetrical side pads.
I can't find an explanation for what is happening here. It looks like there exists no instance of the old package. Yet somehow the device from my library is pooling out from somewhere and using the old package.
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Mihaela
