Re: reg footprint making

Can you take a footprint in a PCB and save it to the library in Pads?

If so, try and place them on a new PCB in CADSTAR, export it as an archive then read it into pads?

Might work..

Re: reg footprint making

If you are using PADS have a look around for IPC-7351 libraries, as Mentor own PCBlibraies/PCBMatrix that have all the tools for creating the IPC libraries.
Have a look at this site:

You really need to learn how to make footprints in pads yourself if you are going to be employed to do it.

As for the IPC library of pads footprints - try these pads v9 ones - not sure if they are correct.

At least on PADS-2007 it is really possible, and I even built an entire library this way.
This feature is avaliable accessing just by mouse right-button click options.

Sagiraju,


I can advice this task is not complex, however is not too elementar.
At Mentor Graphics instalation folder, there are some usefull documentations ( someones with more than 1.000 pages ) regarding PADS Layout, Router and Schmeatic.

I sugest you take a look there, and having some punctual doubt, you ask here.
