Re: New to KI - Library Question


 

Hi,

Welcome to KiCad!

A lot of symbols and footprints are installed by default along with
KiCad. SOMETIMES what you need will be in there - but when it is not, it
is quite straightforward to

* create a new symbol and/or footprint as you need, or
* modify existing ones, and save them as a new one, particularly if they
are 'close' to what you need.

=)

Check KiCad's online help for all the details on how to accomplish these
tasks.

Is there a repository for symbols and footprints for KI?
My first attempt at using the program is to design a relay switching
board and I need to find a symbol and footprint for a Phoenix terminal
block (header), 3-pos, 90-deg, 5.08mm.?? (Phoenix p/n: 1757488)
