Deleting Library Groups - Delete button greyed out
Posted: 03 Dec 2022, 11:16
DipTrace Version 4.3.0.3
I've come across a couple of problems that I cannot seem to work out and which maybe related.
1. I created my own library and created a certain component (a capacitor) using the Pattern and Component editors.
2. I then created a circuit in the Schematic application, then created a PCB on the PCB Layout application.
After I had finished both the schematic and PCB design I decided I wanted to slightly alter the shape and size of the pads on the component that I created in 1 above. So I opened up the pattern and component editor applications and changed the pads on the component, everything was fine.
I then went back into the schematic design and deleted the component and also in the PCB layout applications I deleted the component.
I then added the new redesigned component into the schematic design application and also in the PCB layout application...however as I pull over the component from the choose component area on the left I can see the newly created pads but when I drop the component onto the circuit the pads change to the original shape.
Why is the component appearing on the schematic and PCB layout with the original pads?
Additional:
If I go into the Library setup and create new group libraries, for components or patterns or components and patterns, why can I not delete the one that I have created as the Delete button is greyed out (2)?
See picture below.
I set up some new group libraries using the 'Add' button to create the group libraries (1) where the purple asterisks * are shown but I cannot now delete them using the 'Delete' button as the Delete button is greyed out (2)
....... Thanks
