So I search for 4046 , which is a VCO chip, and I found the through hole version, but the version I have is the SMD. So that goes by the number PW4046, and there is one, but it is not matching the actual part, so somone made it and arranged the pin numbers the way they wanted them, and left some off that I need. So I tried to edit the part and change the pin numbers to what they would be on the actual part, and the labels to go along. I have to say that my experience with the software tells me that I am headed for misery, in that I am leaving room for some terrible result in my board. So this brings me to another issue, parts that I used on previous boards could not be found, so I had to resort to opening old projects and copying the part I need, and making 5 or 6 and changing the values and part numbers to go along with the way I am using them. So what the heck is going on with parts that were once in the system, but no longer can be found? The parts I copied were jelly bean parts, 1206 capacitors and resistors, but this 4046 chip is new to my design, and it has to be right. What can I do to edit the part I have so it shows all the proper pins where they belong? EasyEDA has some big problems with parts, don't they try to make the list accurate and have as many parts as possible? I use to be able to find parts from Aliexpress, and other places, and now I don't find much of anything. Yes, I have logged in, and yes I have been using the software for a lot of hours, so I am sure something changed in the way it is finding parts. This one issue is costing me entire days of trying to fix this one part. This is the image of the chip that I found that was edited by someone else, notice that the pins are out of order, where they should start on the left with pin 1 at the top, and directly across the last pin is 16, but they are not all in order the way the chip would be normally. Is there a way for me to either fix this chip, or create one of my own, since I have been finding to many problems in using parts from the library, some are just missing, and others are not there, or they are wrong. When I edit this chip, I can change the location of the pins, I can only edit what the pins say, as in what pin number it is and what it is called. There are other pins on the chip that simply don't show up, and I see no way to add them. The ideal situation would be for me to create the 16 pin blank and edit all the pins for my own use.
UPDATE: I did find myself in a part editor, and after I edited the part to look exactly the way I needed, I saw not way to put it in my schematic, and I lost it. So this is getting old fast. Once I get a blank part and edit it, how do I save it to my own parts list, and get it into my schematic so I can update my PCB with the correct part?
