Duplicate library part for editing

Anonymous

Hello guys!

I don't know if this question has already been asked somewhere in the forum, as all searches i made on the topic find only questions about duplicates and library cleanup.

Is there an easy way to duplicate library part, to implement small changes?

For instance, i have a switch symbol, and i want to move the 2d symbol a bit further away from the base point only on this one instance. Is there a way to duplicate the library part, or i have to save as new part? Saving as a new part overwrites the fragment2 command and 3d hotspot placement.

Thanks!

There is a button called "duplicate selected object" in the library manager for that purpose
