Download layout libraries

iwo andonow

Hello,

I'm using Orcad Layout Engineer's Edition ver 16.0.0 to design my PCBs. Where I can find footprint libraries for the standart footprints?

For example TQFP32, 0.8mm pitch, TQFP44, 0.5mm and 0.8mm pitch, SOT32-5 or SOT32-6 etc.

The libraries in Layout do not contain all standart footprints and I don't see progess since Orcad ver 9.1 and 9.2.

Till now I have created more than 50 footprints, but there are always new components and this seems endless.

Please can somebody tell me where I can download footprint libraries !

    Thank you Mitch !

    I've registered in PCB MATRIX. Now I'm waiting for activation/verification. I'll search there what I need.

     Thanks

    We all have new symbols coming at us all the time.  Sure you can use a 3rd party but you'd be amazed at how fast you can build your own company correct symbol using the part wizard.

    It's not just footprints now, you can also automatically generate 3D models (STEP files)...
