Add MikroElektronika to the manufacturer list

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Can MikroElektronika be added to the manufacturer list? When I run "Check Manufacturer Labels", it gets flagged as an "improper" manufacturer name.
I added it manually to ManufacturerList.txt for now, but it would be nice if it was added officially.

Suggested addition:

MikroElektronika|MIKROE|https://www.mikroe.com/

	In Footprint Expert 23 it was possible to add a manufacturer to the list (menu Utilities-Edit Manufacturer list). Maybe this feature could be restored. But instead of adding a selected manufacturer to the global list (often updated by PCB Libraries) it should be possible to create your own list, like a custom word list added to a word processor dictionary.

	We had to remove the ability for users to edit the ManufacturerList.txt because it we constantly edit that file to add new manufacturers. If you edit that file, it will be overwritten every time you install an update. You need to report all new manufacturers to Support @ PCBLibraries . com and we'll add it to the next available pre-release. We added MIKROE to POD and the ManufacturerList.txt. Thank you for reporting this to us. We hope you are using V25.02 Footprint Expert.
