help needed on cadsoft eagle

Post by vinod »

How can I change the default pin positions of Eagle library components ?
By which I can root component-to-component connections in a schematic as I like.
For example in NE555 symbol I want to change pins 6 & 7 from the left side to bottom side.

As far as I know, individual pins cannot be moved around. You can mirror and rotate a part which can help, but it's not what you're asking for. Aside from that, you will need to make a new part in the library editor if it's enough of a problem to be worth the effort. The work to do this can be minimized by copying the existing symbol and device from an existing library and make your changes to that.

Yes, you can modify any part in the Library with the library editor. Bring the part in, make a change to it and save it with a different name (essentially).
