User Guide

After searching all libraries, either in the Libraries branch of the tree
view in the Control Panel or with the help of the search function of the
ADD command in the Layout Editor (only there, not in the Schematic,
one can search for packages), it is possible to Drag&Drop the package
from the Control Panel directly into the library. As an alternative you
couldusethePACKAGEcommand.
Open the library (here: my_lib.lbr from paragraph 8.2) that contains the
device you want to define the new package variant for. For example, by
themenu File/Open/Library oftheControlPanel.
Click the Edit-a-Device icon and select the device 54*1032A from the
menu.TheDeviceEditoropens.

If Control Panel and Library Editor window are arranged side by side,
select the SO14 package and Drag&Drop it into the opened Library
Editor window. After releasing the mouse button you will be asked for
the new package variant name. Enter it and confirm it by clicking OK.

If the path contains spaces include the path name in single quotes, for

Now on the lower right of the Device Editor window a new entry for

On the left a black exclamation mark on yellow ground is shown which
indicates that there are no connections between pins and pads defined
yet.
