Making a device, packages are not selectable

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I am trying to create a new library part. In the final steps of the process, combining the symbol with the package, I am unable to select the package from the list. Its on the list, but is a lighter gray color and not selectable.

 

Can any instructors offer a suggestion on getting over this hurdle?

 

I have noticed this in other library's I didn't create, also

    Well, I'm certainly not an "instructor" but as this is a public NNTP

    group...

     

    The greying out (which was added at V5, I think) indicates that the

    package is unsuitable for use on your device, most likely because it

    does not have enough pads for the number of pins on the symbols in the

    device. You need to check that you've got enough pads on your package,

    that your symbol doesn't have stray pins and that your device doesn't

    contain any stray extra symbols.

     

    HTH,

    Rob
