Not available when a managed component is selected. The PCB Model dialog defines which footprint model is linked to the schematic component, and in which libraries the schematic editor can look for the footprint. Edit Footprint - click to open the PCB Model dialog.Remove - click to remove the selected footprint.Add - click to open the PCB Model dialog to choose a new footprint model to add for the highlighted schematic component.Note that the Add, Remove and Edit commands/buttons are not available when a Workspace component is selected.
Click on a footprint to see a graphical view of that footprint in the region below.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.).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.
