Electronic – Eagle library multiple packages in one device

cadeagle

So in an Eagle library, the device is created by joining schematic symbols with pcb packages. You can have more than one symbol in a package… (a quad opamp). Is there anyway to have multiple packages linked to one symbol?

Best Answer

As far as I know, that isn't possible to do with the present Eagle library stricture. You can not have one symbol that corresponds to several footprints on the PCB, which you can move independently.

I can think of a workaround.
[Haven't tried this with Eagle myself, so this is hypothetical.]
3 separate terminals for the potentiometer (wire terminals, say W1, W2, W3). Each one is a separate part. Put the terminals into their own hierarchical block. Treat this hierarchical block as a schematic symbol.
