Modify part in eagle and save under new name

Community PCB Design

Hello,

I would like to add an atmega164 to eagle. I know haw to make a part from scratch however all I would need to do is change the pin descriptions on the atmega16 and save it as the 164, much quicker or so I thought.

I can’t seem to figure out how to open a part, edit it and save it as a new part. It always seems to want to save the entire library as a new library.

What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

It is easy once you have done it once or twice.

Open original package.

View > Dispaly > all

Group.

Edit > cut

Left click on origin.

Package > new

Type new name

Edit > paste

Left click origin.

(modify whatever)

Save

Now create/modify device using new package.

Nice! :smiley:

Now that you explained it I’m actually a little disappointed in myself for not having tried that in the first place.

Thank you for your time.
