Add a Component by Copying
Add components to a library by copying components from another library of the same type, and pasting them into your own library. The library you are copying from can be a standard system library or your own library.
- Open the library browser by selecting System | Libraries | Libraries.
- In the browser, select a library of the desired type. The library can be a standard system library or your own library.
- Select one or more components in the right side browser pane.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Select Copy.
- Select a library of the same type in the Custom Libraries folder.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Select Paste.
You can also add a new component by selecting Add new item. In this case, the new component does not have predefined parameters.
Note: If the database structures are not the same, you will receive an error message and the component will not be copied. For example, these errors prevent copying:
- Lengths are not same
- Missing field in target library
