How to create a new symbol from existing one

Hi Tony

What version of KiCad are you using, and on what OS?

@Tony_Zhang

Second, I click tag “create a new component from current one”, however, the same editing window popup, after I edited the name. the same prompt window come still saying the conflict and asking me to replace the one in library… when I select NO, it doesn’t create a new name for me…nothing changed…

You probably did this but I’ll ask just in case …

• After editing the name in the dialog and clicking OK, you need to do File - Save Current Library.

• This should bring up the dialogs below. Did you get these before you got the error message about conflicting entry?

About the second problem, might you have two copies of the symbol (part name) in different library files, but both listed in the libraries table? See here: EEschema using OLD symbol that is not in library anymore
