How to change name and value of copied package?

Former Member

Hello,

 

I'm designing a new component and used the command "copy packagename@library.lbr" because I didn't want to draw the package. I copied the SO08 from the 40xx.lbr.

This was working fine, I renamed the pins but I'm not able to change ">name" and "value". Why is this? 25tnames and 27tvalues can't be modified. I can only add names and values...

 

Does anyone has an idea on how to solve this?

Thanks.

    The .png didn't make it to the newsgroup. The link @ Farnell doesn't

    work correctly. You must edit your library package to change name/value

    or move it around. I would not erase them because then you can never

    assign a name/value later in the layout.

    why would you want to?

     

    They will be replace by the component name and value when you add them

    to your schematic.

     

    If you'd like to change der position/size you need to edit the

    package.

    Ok, thank you guys.

     

    It's true , when changing the value/name in the schematic and then switching to the board, it changes there as well...

    This whole thing is new for me, so I will soon bother you again. :-)

     

    Thanks again.

    Edit: how do I mark the question as answered?
