The second icon is save the footprint in the active libraryĭoes what it says, but you HAVE to select the library with the first icon This tells the editor where to look for the footprint you want to work Open the footprint editor and look at the top icon bar I'll describe the setup for the footprint editor. What is happening in your project is that you have edited either theįootprint or the component to fix the issue, but failed to save theīoth the schematic library editor, and the footprint editor work in a The pin numbering / id's on the two must match for the Your have components that you place on the circuit diagram usingĮeschema, and then you have footprints that you place on the PCB with Some other software, as it involves things stored in multiple librariesįirst, be very careful in how you describe and think of things.
