How to update 3D packages in managed library from online Package editor

Anonymous — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 08:05:27 GMT

Having right clicked on a part in a board file and selected Open 3D package,

then created the 3D package in the online package editor,

how do I now get the managed library that the part is from to update

so that when pushing to FUSION360 it updates in the board model.

Thank you

Hi helloU9V88,

Thank you for participating on the Autodesk EAGLE forum.

Open you local managed library and create a new version:

Now return to your design and select the option Library/Update All:

Strange, that does not work for me in Eagle 9.6.2.

Almost 2 years later, I see the same issue as the original author of this question: After editing the 3D package of a component using the "EDIT3D" command, the device in the library does not contain the 3D package. I only see the grey box that is assigned by default to all devices, see screenshot of Library Editor's device view:

Library Editor, Device view

Clicking "Create new version..." in Library Editor does not change this.

I just noticed, however, that the "Inhaltsverzeichnis" (guess that's "Table of Contents") of Library Editor shows a new icon next to the device where I edited the 3D package:

Library Editor, overview

What does that mean? Could not find it in the manual.

When I double click on the icon, it disappears. And I get the notice that the library has been changed.

Now I can save the library and click on "Create new version..." and open the device again in Library Editor. Then I see my 3D package:

Library Editor, Device view with updated 3D package

Mind you, this workflow does not always succeed. I followed this workflow for another device and now the 3D package looks like a cog wheel:

Library Editor, Device View, cog wheel

This library management is baffling me.
