How to get SMD parts like 0805 resistor, capacitor, etc?

[thburn]

Hi,

I am (still) new to Fusion 360 electronics design and I wonder how to get SMD parts like 0805 resistors, capacitors, etc. into my design.
In the Library manager I can see for example the library smd-ipc, I clicked the 'Use' button.
If I want to add a part I move to the smd-ipc library and click the small arrow to open this library.
But it just says 'No selectable asset available' (see image)

What I am missing?

Thanks...

Hi @thburn 

Sorry for any confusion.

The 'No selectable asset available' in the add part dialog means there is no available device in this public library. If you want to use the SMD parts like 0805 resistors into your design, you can new Electronics library -> click "Create New Footprint" button -> click "Import" button, import asset named "R0805" or "C0805" from library "smd-ipc" into the electronics library -> New Device, add symbol and footprint "R0805" or "C0805", map pins and pads -> save the library -> New Electronics Design -> New schematic file, add the parts form the newly created library

Hope it helps.

Please feel free to let us know if you need further assistant.

Best Regards,

Alina

all basic RCL parts are in "rcl" lib.

there is as well separated Resistor library and capacitor library which have the same parts- This is autodesk secret why there are so many parts and libs multiplied.
