General

Each component in TARGET 3001! consists of a symbol for schematic use and a proposed package for layout use. You can deviate from the package proposal by selecting a "Free package" from the package libraries.

How to exchange the package proposal (V15 and jounger)

In the component data base (since V15) change the package proposal of a part by right mouse click M2 on the line with the component name:

This works only with USER-Parts. Genuine TARGET-Parts need to be copied in order to make them user parts.

How to exchange the package proposal (V14 and older)

The package proposal which is assigned to a certain symbol can be changed by importing the symbol to a schematic, highlight it completely by a Capture Window. Hover the mouse to the desired position of the Handle cross (you may use the old position), press [y] for fixing the handle cross and then press [x] for exporting the component to a library (= save it). During the process of saving you are asked which package proposal you want to assign to the symbol. This is the time for choosing a package from a library.

The current package proposal which a symbol carries and its storage location can be inspected from the symbol's properties. Double click upon the symbol's handle cross opens the dialog in question. Press the "Properties" button and find the package proposal and it's library of storage.

Here too you might eschange the package proposal. If your new package proposal is stored in a different package library (*.PCK3001) click M1 on the entry of the list to the right beside PROPOSED_PACKAGE_LIB (=the library currently used). Now select the desired library from the flashing list. Afterwards klick M1 upon the list entry below. A list of packages from the selected library opens. Select the desired package as a proposal. While you hover the mouse over the different alternatives you will see a preview in the box beside:

Exchange a package in the layout

You have placed a symbol in the schematic and like to use a package different from the package proposal. Or you had placed a package in the layout already which you now like to exchange. Highlight the package and press the [Del] key. The package vanishes. Now press the [Ins] key in order to import a different package. The following dialog appears where you tick a box in the lower part of the dialog:

Use a different package.

Press OK and select the desired package from the opening browser. Care for identical numbering of pins and pads. Place it to the layout, connect it, done.
