25 Oct 2006 14:53 copy pcb components not being saved Altium designer

Hi all,

I open two pcb library files in Altium designer, I copy several footprints from library to the other. The copied items appear in the destination library, I rename them. Lastly I save the library, a message comes up telling me the the time of the last save, it is the wrong time. Closing the library document and re-opening the added pcb components are not there. I have tried many times no joy, on the few occasions it has worked - no message comes up about time of last save.

Help!!

Thanks

Spit

Hi,
When u want to make a new component in a library every time u should go to tools- new component. then u copy and past the component to the library and save it after changing the component properties.

Hope it will help
