Symbol Generation

JohnSheley

Will you, please, direct me to the correct forum (or web page) for the following technical help?

Situation:

1) I have ORCAD/Allegro 17.2

2) Digi-Key almost always has Allegro 17.2 foot prints for what I want but not always the symbols.

3) I do not know how to make the ORCAD symbols and then "connect" to the foot prints furnished by Digi-Key.

Will you please point to simpleton's "How To" video or step by step description?    

John

  • Once you have the schematic symbol you simply set the PCB Footprint property (double click the symbol that is placed or set this up when you create the symbol). to the name of the footprint you downloaded. Just as a FYI you can get symbols, footprints and 3d step models from UltraLibrarian, Samacsys and SnapEDA all for free.
