The integrated library or database library must be available or, for a server, you must be connected to that server.
Use footprint from source integrated library, database library, or server - only searches for the model in the integrated library/database library/server that the component was placed from. Either type the path and library name manually, or click the Choose button to open the Windows Open dialog, which you can use to browse to the required library. Library path - only searches a library of this name, in this location, for a matching model. But when I try to access the library directly the PCB editor will stall and CS crashes. Library name - only searches available libraries of this name for a matching model. I can access each components footprint through the schematic. Any - searches all available libraries for a matching model. With one or more components selected in the Footprint Manager's Component List region, the Edit PCB Library dialog is accessed by right-clicking within the View and Edit Footprints region, then choosing Change PCB Library. Once changed, the new footprint(s) found will be listed back in the Footprint Manager, ready for use.
The options range from Any, meaning search all available libraries for this model, to Integrated Library, Database Library, or Server, which indicates that the model can only be used from the specified integrated library, database library, or server. You’ll now see the new part displayed under the lbr folder, right click and select use.
Locate the part you’ve downloaded from SnapEDA and drag it to the lbr folder in Eagle’s control panel. Expand Libraries and you’ll see the lbr folder. The Edit PCB Library dialog is used to define where the software can look for footprint models, in relation to the currently selected component(s) in the Schematic Editor's Footprint Manager. Follow these steps to import into Eagle: Open Eagle and go to the Control Panel.
