Eagle Library Problem

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

i'm trying to create a few specialized items in a new Library. i'm able to create the Symbol and the Package but they do not appear together and are apparently not linked. For example I created a CR123 3v Lithium battery holder. I created a symbol for a 3V battery and a package for the holder. When i try to use it in my project I can see it in the library list and it displays the package not the symbol. When I drop it in my project nothing appears in the schematic but if I switch to the board the item is there and can be used.

 

Similarly I created a special purpose 3V voltage regulator for Arduino projects. I created the package and the symbol and again they are not displayed whne i select the library item and in this case dropping it in the project results in no symbol or package in the schematic or the board.

 

Clearly I have a linkage problem but I'm dumbfounded what it is. i have attached the two library files in hope that someone can explain to me what I did, or didn't do, and how to prevent it in the future

 

Thanks

    creating a custom library part is a three step process. you need to have a symbol and package before you can create the device.

     

    your device does not link the two.

     

    open the "device" in your library and add your symbol to it, then choose a package and link the pins.

    "

    I opened the device and can select the symbol or the package. But I do not understand what this means: "... and link the pins."

    I guess i'm just dense but what function does this?
