Update edited symbol in .olb library

Hello

1st I put a symbol from lib1.olb.

The location of pins were not adapted for my schematic, so I changed it (right-click on symbol --> "Edit Part").

Is there a technique to update edited symbol in library lib1.olb in order to use modified symbol in future projects?

Thanks in advance

Pavel

    When you "edit part" in a schematic the part name is adjusted by _X where X is the next number. You'll also notice that instead of it being located from a library it's now located as part of the filename.dsn....

    Yes, there were some sort of suffix ... I don't remember already ..., but what I retained is the name of symbol in cash (suffix aside) were much shorter than original.

    Concerning .dsn, YES, it was exactly the case.

    Ok for technique of single model symbol.

    Probably you have an additional comment concerning my note on symbol name modification, otherwise thank you very much Steve.

    Regards
