If say
PCB editor is open with MYLIB library loaded, I open MYLIB for editing, I then add a new footprint to MYLIB, save and close it,
Only the save is essential.....
If I browse the library within the PCB editor the new footprint is not yet available
A push process of update PCB still does not make the footprint available.
If I remove MYLIB and then add it back in the new footprint is now available for use.
You do not have to remove/re-add the library, clicking on it in the navigator pane will do the trick....
I have several HF 'components' (read: copper structures) that are board specific and need fine-tuning when I create the final PCB; so I switch back and forth a lot and have the library open for editing at the same time I am working in the PCB.... This neat little trick save loads of time.
