Cut and Paste Symbol from Schematic to Schematic Lib
1405 3

First off - I really like EasyEDA you've done a great job. Now my issue: I created a symbol in a schematic. Now I want to reuse it. Is there a way to paste a symbol I created on a schematic into a Schematic Lib? Intuitively I thought'Copying' the symbol in the schematic and then 'Pasting' into the Schematic Lib should work, but the Paste option is disabled for the Schematic Lib. Ta!

@thepigs, Welcome to EasyEDA. Here's how: 1) Select the symbol. 2) Click on `Group/Ungroup Symbol...` ![enter image description here][1] 3) The symbol is now just a collection of drawing elements. ![enter image description here][2] 4) Reselect the whole symbol. ![enter image description here][3] 5) Copy the whole symbol. 6) Do **New > Schematic Lib** and fill in the details. 7) Paste it into the new Schematic Lib. 8) Fill in and/or add Supplier, (and the supplier part number in the named supplier slot under the selected supplier name), Package, Manufacturer, Manufacturer Part and Description attributes. 9) ave it with a unique name. 10) Do a **SHIFT+F** library search for your new part and then do **Right-click > Modify** on the entry to add a description to the library information, including a link to a manufacturer or supplier device page and a link to a manufacturuer or supplier datasheet. 11) Search for the part again and reselect it in the library then **Place** the new symbol in the schematic. This creates a new public symbol so anyone can find it and add it to their local librar by clicking **Favorite**.

@andyfierman Thanks for your reply but I couldn't get that to work. Would I be right in thinking that you should be able to copy a single drawing shape from a Schematic into a Schematic Lib? eg. Create new Schematic, add a rectangle, copy the rectangle (by clicking the copy icon), Create a new Schematic lib, paste the rectangle (by clicking the paste icon).

Oops. Sorry about that! I've used that approach successfully in the past but it seems to not work now. There should at least be a warning that you can't do that when you try to paste into the Schematic Lib. **But there is another way that I just checked and does work...** 1) Copy the symbol into a new, blank schematic sheet. 2) Select the symbol in this new sheet. 2) Click on `Group/Ungroup Symbol...` ![enter image description here][1] 3) The symbol is now just a collection of drawing elements. ![enter image description here][2] 4) Do **Document > EasyEDA Source...** 5) Select and Copy all the text starting at `"CA~` to the end of the window. ![enter image description here][3] 6) Do **New > Schematic Lib** and fill in the details - including using a unique name - then click OK. 7) Do **Document > EasyEDA Source...** 8) Select all the text starting at `"CA~` to the end of the window. ![enter image description here][4] 9) Paste. 10) Click **Apply**. ![enter image description here][5] 11) Fill in and/or add (using **Add new parameter**) Supplier, (and the supplier part number in the named supplier slot under the selected supplier name), Package, Manufacturer, Manufacturer Part and Description attributes in the right hand panel. ![enter image description here][6] 12) Save the new symbol. 13) Do a **SHIFT+F** library search for your new part and then do **Right-click > Modify** on the entry to add a description to the library information, including a link to a manufacturer or supplier device page and a link to a manufacturer or supplier datasheet. 14) Search for the part again and reselect it in the library then **Place** the new symbol in the schematic.
