Hi I'm a fairly experienced pcb designer but am new to kicad and have been struggling to create parts with the library editor. I want to use parts from existing librarys as a template to create new parts. The only problem is I can't seem to change the name of the part which is getting really annoying.
I go into library editor and select a library. Then i choose a part from this library and edit it and then i open the new library to save it in and am forced to save it with the same name. Why is there no option to change the name?! I'm wondering if my copy of kicad has a bug. I can't find an option to change the part name. In library editor every icon to the right of zoom auto is greyed out. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or if I should be looking for another copy of kicad. My build is 20090216 and i only started using it a week ago so its not as if i have an ancient copy.
