Hi,
is it possible to link parts from imported boards from eagle to general editable Library? If i import a eagle project, librePCB generate a „hidden“ lib inside the project folder. I need to edit the footprint to eliminate some import issues. Delete the component and add the right one from global lib is no option, i need a more straight forward way for many of our boards.
Best regards,
Bernhard

Hi,
Since LibrePCB 2.1.0 there is a new Project Library Manager which allows you to copy the project library elements into a workspace library. Afterwards you can modify the workspace library elements as usual, and use the Project Library Updater to load those changes back into the project.
The only limitation currently is that the library elements of each imported Eagle project are independent - LibrePCB cannot detect if two Eagle projects actually used the same library elements, they will always get a different UUID during import. So when you copy a library element from a project into the workspace, this library element is linked from only that specific project, not from other projects. So basically this workflow has to be done for each project individually. Some day we may provide a way to avoid this.
