Before ungroup the footprint, please change it’s layer to top layer first, because of the footprint after grouping will at top layer.Using the group function, you can create/edit any symbol in the Schematic/PCB, easily and quickly.

Select all of the items and click the Group/Ungroup Symbol… button.Īfter you click OK, all those separate elements will be grouped together to form your new symbol directly in the PCB. Up to this point you have a collection of separate pads, a drawn silk layer tracks and some text that are all separate items with no particular association with each other.Įdit the shape or pad what you want to change This tool is for you to quickly create or edit library symbols. On the PCB Tools palette there is the Group/Ungroup Symbol… button. If you want to edit a package(footprint) in the PCB, you can use the Ungroup/Group function same as the schematic. Modify the saved Footprint tag at “Library” part list. Firstly, you should really have your libraries installed in Altium. One of those components needs to be modified for some reason, but theres no easy way to edit the component in the library itself without going to find it. when you finish and save, it will be saved to your personal libraries “Created” and become your personal libraries.Īnd you can add a tag for your Footprint when you save it: To draw a more precise symbol, you can change the schematic grids by right. 2 Answers Sorted by: 3 I assume what you mean is you have a schematic which contains components wired together. You can edit the pad size, shape outlines, etc. Via Library > Footprint > Search Component/Personal/LCSC/System > Select footprint > Edit When you found a Footprints(footprint) but it can not be satisfied for your design, you can edit it to be your personal PCB footprint.
