For my PCB I need a MOSFET BUZ11 mounted vertically.
In the libraries I found the BUZ11 but only with a TO220 package mounted horizontally. In the same library there exists a TO220 package for vertical mount, named TO220V, but for a different device. Now I want to add this package type to a new library.
What I tried does not work:
1. generate new library, named BUZ11-hv
2. copy the device BUZ11 from the old library to the new library and save it
3. click the "new" button below the package window and give it the name "V" (new package variant)
4. right click on the new package variant and select "edit package"
5. copy the package TO220V from the old library to the new library; the package for vertical mounting is visible in the new package window
6. select device display and the new package TO220V and connect the pins
7. save
In the library window I can see two packages for the device BUZ11, TO220 and TO220V. But clicking on TO220V shows the old package with horizontal mounting and not the package for vertical mounting copied in step 5.
Now I closed the library window and looked on the library tree in the control panel. Below the new library, BUZ11-hv there are two devices, BUZ11 and BUZ11-HV.
The device BUZ11 now contains two packages, TO220 and TO220V, but the package TO220V looks like TO220!
The device BUZ11-HV ist empty, i.e. no symbol, no package.
What is the correct method to add an existing package?
