I'm new to Altium... In Altium 21.8, I am trying to create a new footprint. This would then be added to an existing database library (.DbLib).
How do I do this?
I tried to open the .DbLib file, but nothing happened.
The documentation tells me to invoke the "PCB Library panel", but this panel is not in the list of panels I see available (either from a schematic or a PCB context) - see image.
I did see that Schematic Editor has a "Footprint Manager" under "Tools", this shows existing symbols in my schematic. It seems to confirm that the footprints are stored in a the .DbLib file.
I would have thought this would at least solve the "how to modify" question. However, after selecting a part in the left panel, and choosing 'Edit', then 'OK', nothing happens. I think this might be a dialog just related to updating the 3D model though?
