Hello,
I am just getting started with KiCAD after watching Chris’ tutorials.
I have created a new library MyLib,and I am trying to copy existing components into it.After I copy one component,if I copy another component into MyLib,it pops up a dialog,asking to overwrite MyLib.This overwrites MyLib,so that all previous components are deleted and only the last added one is present.
Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong?
We’re talking eeschema/symbol editor here, right?
It’s cumbersome still, they’re working on it though…
- you activate the library where the symbol you want is included
- load the symbol
- you then activate the library where the symbol should go into
- might need to change something on the symbol (as otherwise the save library button doesn’t work for me, BZR6097)
- save the symbol
If you want to go faster, there is always the option of doing it yourself with a text editor… just cop&paste the symbol from one .lib to the other and reload KiCAD.
Way less clicking
Thanks Joan.
Solved my problem.
