![]() My goal is to have as little footprints as possible, so I can maintain them easily, but because of the above mentioned issue the number of footprints in our library is growing fast, even for simple passive components. a 'default' footprint for most capacitors, but individual footprints/3D models for capacitors that have slightly larger dimensions? Do you use a single 0603 footprints for 'all' 0603 components, maybe with a 3D model which has the maximum dimensions?ĭo you use separate footprints for each resistor or each capacitor? (which would result in thousands of -almost- identical footprints) Also, resistors have a different 3D model than capacitors, so I cannot use a single footprint/3D model combination for both.On top of that, some resistors or capacitors are higher than others, so at the moment I have multiple 3D models for various heights.For 'standard' 0603 components, there are three different footprints (IPC Most Material Condiction, Nominal Material Condition, Least Material Condition or levels A, B, C resp.). The PCB Footprint Expert Enterprise is a powerful CAD library development tool powered by our own proprietary CAD LEAPTM Technology (Libraries Enhanced with Automated Preferences).This works fine.įor footprints it gets messy very quickly: Do you have any hints/tips on how to organize basic parts like resistors and capacitors in the library?įor symbols, it is easy: I have a single resistor symbol that I use for all resistors, also only 1 diode, 1 capacitor, etc. ![]()
