How to create single component with many names?

[_Marek]

For example - I created component 5W zener diode with symbol name 1N5365B. The same diode has multiple voltage variants with the same package. I would like find this component by name 1N5365B, or 1N5345B, or 1N5346B... etc. List is quite long. I saw such a component in libraries once. Its names were probably stored somehow in attributes but I don't remember details. Any hint?

Hello @_Marek,

I hope you're doing well. The trick is to use the asterisk in the component name and then using the Attribute sets(Technologies) to have the different numbers. So for example 

1N53*B

Then each footprint can have a corresponding attribute set 65, 45, 46.

You can see the rcl library for an example of how this might be configured.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,
