KiCad 5, Copy Footprint to another library

  1. Right-Click on source symbol name
  2. Copy
  3. Right-Click on target library name
  4. Paste symbol
  5. Right-Click on symbol in target library
  6. Save As
  7. Right-Click on symbol in target library
  8. Delete

In KiCad 4 I could do this faster. From memory:

  1. Choose souce library
  2. Save As --> Choose library and type in the new name
  1. double click on symbol. (to open it)
  2. file -> save as

or:

  1. right click on symbol -> save copy as

Thank you Rene!

RMB, “Save As…” is what I was looking for.
