The big names, and even some small ones, are in the database as shipped. You can add more manufacturers and/or parts as needed. There is a bi-directional relationship between the schematic symbols and panel layout footprints. Many footprints ship with the program, but you can use your own if you prefer. ACE will merge attributes into your existing footprints if necessary, to make your footprints "ACE smart." You can do your panel layout first if you wish and later go to schematic mode, where ACE will show you a list of all panel components that need an equivalent schematic symbol. Once you place the schematic symbol down, ACE will update the panel layout footprint with the Device-D (Tag).
