Electronics Forum / CAD / July 2003Creating Symbols Eagle
Being a new user of Eagle Cadsoft, I am very frustrated with the quirks. Can anyone tell me how to CUT (copy) a symbol in one library and PASTE it in a different library to create a new device? I opened the LED.lbr selected the symbol for U57x32. I used the CUT command. I then opened my custom.lbr. But got the message "paste buffer is empty." What did I do wrong? or Perhaps there is a better method to accomplish my objective: I want to use the U57x32 symbol in a schematic, but create a new package to use in the PC Board. Thanks in advance for any help offered. You have to GROUP what you want first then use the scissors icon. CtlC will not work. > Being a new user of Eagle Cadsoft, I am very frustrated with the > quirks.

Yeah, the user interface is obviously not based on Windows standards. >the LED.lbr selected the symbol for U57x32. I used the CUT command. I >then opened my custom.lbr. But got the message "paste buffer is >empty." What did I do wrong? Most likely, after "Cut" you forgot to indicate _what_ to cut. I.E. right-click to cut your previously created group. Thanks for your suggestions. What I discovered was with symbols I had to select all layers first, then group, then cut, then open target library, create new symbol and then paste. But following the same procedure, I still can't cut and paste packages. Any ideas here? Jan Johnson schrieb: > Thanks for your suggestions.
