Hello all,
I occasionally come across EAGLE project files (brd, sch) from other folks that contain parts (made by that person) I want to use in other projects I'm working on. If I want to use the part as-is, I've found it's easy to cut/paste from one EAGLE project to another.
However, what if I want to change something - say, the pad shape? Or, if I want to add a new package to their part? I've found it's easy to use the "copy to library" function to copy a part from one library to another. But if another user has created their own custom part in a library I don't have, I can't do that.
Is there a way to copy a part out of a project and add it to one of my own libraries? I've been poking around for half an hour this morning and can't figure it out. I'd rather not replicate the part from scratch just to change one little detail!
