Hi,
I'm working on my own library. I have one library called _STANDARD that holds all standard symbols and footprints(0603, 0805 etc). Every footprint has 3D package.
Now, I want to use 0603 footprint from _STANDARD library in my Resistor library.
How to properly import symbol & footprint(with 3D package) from one lib into another?
I've tried next:
- In Resistor lib I've clicked on "Create New Symbol" and clicked on "Import" button. It works nice but I'm not sure is it right way to do it.
Btw. When I click on "Create New Symbol" I get pop-up dialog with "Add Symbol" title. Pop-up has three buttons - "OK", "Import", "Cancle".
If I, in symbol tab, right click and click on "Create New Symbol"m I get pop-up with "New" title and only two buttons - "OK" and "Cancle".
Same thing applies for footprints. Why two versions of pop-up exist when they do same thing?
- In Resistor lib I've clicked on "Footprint" tab and clicked on icon "Create New Footprint". Next I've clicked on "Import" button and selected footprint I want to import. Selected footprint was 0603 from _STANDARD library and it has 3D package.
After importing selected footprint, only footprint is imported, 3D package is not. Why?
That is one way to import footprint, here's second way to do it.
- In Resistor lib I've clicked on "Components" tab and created new component. Next I've clicked on caret next to "New" button and selected "Add local package" option. Now Fusion shows all footprints from current library(in this case that's Resistor lib). That dialog has "Import" button.
I've clicked on that button, selected footprint I want and clicked on import.
Now I see imported footprint in footprint tab and 3D package from imported footprint in 3D package tab.
So, I'm not sure what is right way to import symbols and footprints(with 3D packages).
Symbols seems to have only one way(at least I know for), footprints have two ways. Whats the differents?
Also, there's one bug.
During importing, I can select multiple symbols/footprints, but only one(I guess last selected) will be imported.
Windows 10, last Fusion 360 verison.
