So if I understand correctly I only need to point the footprints to the older versions of the 3D model?
I added my custom library path to the 'Environment Variable Configuration ’ and tried adding the 3d shape manually in the ‘Footprint properties’ in the PCB editor and replace the ‘3D shape name’ with the version from the old library.
I just added it to my custom library and it showed up.
Just a question for general file management. Is it cleaner to add new library elements (footprints, symbols and models) to the system library under the correct directory (e.g. in ${KISYS3DMOD}/Relay_THT.3dshapes)
or keep a separate path with all the added but not approved components?
I tend to branch it into two separate paths ‘system’ and ‘custom’, but many elements are now duplicated. This may lead to confusion concerning the official releases and updates of the libraries.
