Hello,
In our schematic, we want every component to have the designator (eg "R1") etc, we also want the value....but also we want to have the package size...eg 1206 or SOT23 etc.....so how do we make a schematic symbol in Eagle which has a "package" identifier as well as designator and value......for designator you put ">NAME" and for value you put ">VALUE"..... but if i add ">PACKAGE" it doesnt work. How do i do it?
 

Thanks, that link ...i am not sure if it was allowing us to use an "package" attribute to a schematic symbol though....ill read it again later though thankyou
 

Hi,

you could use a TEXT ">PKG" when you design the package...
Then when you are in DEVICE you may add an ATTRIBUTE "PKG" and fill in the name of the package.
But this is a lot of work.

***
Another solution could be to write an ULP.
* you could use a TEXT ">PKG" when you design the package...
* then run an ULP at the SCHEMATIC or BOARD window that reads out the PACKAGE information of each device and adds the device_ATTRIBUTE "PKG" automatically.

***
Not possible now, afaik: But the straight forward solution is that CADSOFT/AUTODESK generates an automatic update of the TEXT ">PACKAGE" similar to ">VALUE"
