OrCAD Automatic Footprint and Symbol Download Feature

(1/1)

dezagha30:
Hi Everyone,
I just wondering if anyone here uses OrCAD for PCB design and if so would you find it beneficial if Cadence or someone else made a feature that would automatically download component CAD files like symbols and footprints and insert them into you library instead of you manually downloading and importing the CAD file from Ultralibrarian or Octopart?

I'm planning on building out this software, if there is enough interest

Just_another_Dave:
Component search engine has an application similar to the one that you describe (it imports the footprint and schematic symbol of a component automatically) and it reduces a lot of repetitive work. However, some of them have mistakes, so it should be used carefully

You can find it here: https://componentsearchengine.com/

Thanks for sharing the site. What I am describing will integrate with OrCAD specifically but component search engine seems like a good place to source component on the back end of the application

There is a similar thread in the EDA section already!
