Re: Searching for an existing footprint

Hi John,

?

I’m not sure what a preset resistor is, but I’m willing to learn.

?

When I want to see what is all available, I open the footprint editor and hit View/Footprint Library Browser

?

?

If you hit this button, you can see the 3D model- if one has been assigned to it…
Then you can click your down arrow to flip through the different footprint.

I could have sworn there was a filter where you could enter a terminal number and limit your results to just those footprints.? I don’t see it now- I found it quite helpful.

?

?

Hope it helps,

Brian

Thanks, Andy, but to find 'a device in the same package' seems to me to be a step further away from searching through footprints for the one I hope is there. The part is a preset resistor, not a transistor.

isn't there a screen that shows descriptions and images of footprints?
