Hi,
I agree .. that´s the easy way ;-)
It´s the way to go.
***
Btw:
Copying the device from the original librrary to YOUR library is very easy.
* Open YOUR library
* goto the control panel window.
* select the original library
* RIGHT mouse click to select the device of interest - select "copy into library" (= YOUR library, because it is still open in the library window)
* then modify the package in YOUR library.
* to include th new device in the board:
* you can either delete the old one and add a new one, then you have to rout all the air wires.
* or you can use "replace" instruction: slect YOUR library, select the modified device, click on the original device in the board window. (tOrigins must be enabled)
