Creating a library for different size resistors

AngeloG

Hi,

I'm new to Cadence Allegro and not really sure how to navigate myself around it. I'm currently using Allegro Design HDL and I want to make a schematic of my circuit but I cannot find a library with different kind of resistors like 0603 and 0805 (only can find a generic symbol of a resistor with no footprint). How can I create this, without making it from scratch? I have .dra and .psm files from other sources, but I don't know how to compile a library.

    Switch to Orcad/DE CIS to spend less time on libraries?

    Part database and library support is easy with Orcad.  You have to admit that library work is not something you want to do as a hobby.

    There's EMA's Ultra Librarian service or Component Information Portal (CIP). Or EMA's CIS Quick Start.

    If memory serves, EMA CIP also comes with an Allegro Footprint library.
