![]() ![]() But the best I've been able to do so far is to hunt-and-peck, just randomly searching through all the DipTrace cap components looking. I know that Digikey has a KiCad library that can be imported, but there's only a few thousand components in it.īack to my 4.7uF example in the OP, I'm sure there are many components for a capacitor within DipTrace that have a pattern suitable for my cap with 0.5mm dia leads spaced at 5mm. But how do I find a suitable match?Ĭlick to expand.I've certainly used filters, but haven't seen a DigiKey library within Diptrace. There is nothing particularly remarkable about this, and I'm sure there are many other parts with the exact same characteristics. It has a lead diameter of 0.5mm and a lead spacing of 5.0mm. Take, for example, a 4.7 uF through-hole ceramic capacitor from TDK. I'd be quite content to use a substitute symbol and pattern, but I don't know how to find one with exact hole sizing and spacing that matches my actual part. I know how to create a component from scratch in the component editor and pattern editor, but I don't want to have to do that for every piece in my project. ![]() With millions of components in the world out there, I'm not surprised that DipTrace's library doesn't have every one, but I am surprised that of all the parts I've looked for, it hasn't had a single one. But so far, not a single component I've looked for, from converters, resistors, inductors, to opamps, has shown up within the DipTrace library. ![]() I'm working on a schematic in DipTrace with the intent of creating a PCB, so the patterns associated with the component matters. I've searched a lot of threads and tutorials for this, but have so far not found anything helpful. ![]()
