Change existing chip

autodeskguest

How do I change an existing chip?

 

For example, I want to modify the National TO-220 package

to remove 6 of the 11 pads, because the pins on the device will

not be used and will be snipped off, and I would like to reclaim

the real estate on the pcb

    It's not possible to modify the existing device/package. You have to

    define a new/modified Package and you have to define a new/modified

    Symbol and combine both in a new Device.
