Ah, yes, this one had me tearing my hair out a few weeks ago. The key to it is the button on the far right of the library editor marked with a crossed-out black pin and a red pin, "Edit pins per part or body style (Use carefully!)". I can't remember if it has to be 'up' or 'down' to get what you want, so you'll have to try both ways :).
Regards,
Robert.

Arg... this is driving me nuts.
For the past two weeks, I have buckled down to create the parts
libraries I need. This seems to be a nightmare for every program I
try, like they assume the parts you need are already there.
I have made some multi-part profiles which have turned out well. The
problem seems to be when I am making a component which has multiple
parts, but they aren't all the same. For instance, tonight I am
trying to make a big library of transistor and diode arrays that I
use. Now I am trying to enter a device (THAT 340) which has two NPN
transistors, and two PNP transistors. I define pins 1-3 as NPN for
Part A, but then when I define pins 5-7 as PNP for Part B, I go back
and it has overwritten the PNP for PART A also! I cannot imagine any
reason why this would happen. They have their own pin numbers! If I
change the part for pins 5-7 why would it assume that I am changing
pins 1-3 which I have already done?
The only workaround I can think of for now is just using a monolithic
block and naming the pins for the whole device. It's easy, but it
makes the schematics messy. Any ideas? Am I missing something here?
Thanks!
