By using the part Inspector, I am able to change that library name, but any name I choose does not solve the problem. Note the PCB Library section says use "CommunityVault". Note this form is READ ONLY - and I don't know how to change that. And the library is loaded, in the search path, part of the project, etc. When I copy/add an existing part in the SCH, and then try and import that change into the PCB, the error is "missing footprint". I found instructions that explained that one can copy all the components from an existing PCB and copy them into a PCB Library, which I did. So I want to use the existing parts already in the PCB. As documented in various places, CircuitStudio does not have a connection to Octopart, and I have made many parts and footprints and I don't want to repeat this work. The problem is that I cannot make additions to the layout from copying an existing component in the SCH. I was able to load in the design SCH and PCB from various instructions found on the internet. I am importing a design from CircuitMaker. Again, opening the symbol from the Library editor, shows everything it's fine. However, selecting the other chip, shows both the symbol and footprint, so the footprint exists there but for some reason the library doesn't find it for the uC. Problem is when I compile the Library, and check the component from the Library window, selecting the uC only shows the symbol but not the footprint, like the footprint is not in the library. Everything works fine while I'm working in the Library (open as a project), meaning I can go to the symbol and edit the footprint and check everything is fine. I created the symbol and since I already had another IC with the same footprint in that library, I tried to use same one for the uC. However, I'm having an issue with one of the components which is a uC with a QFN-32 footprint. I was able to create many components (symbol + footprint + 3d model) and it works fine. I'm creating an Integrated Library with all the components I'm planning to use in my current designs.
