Footprint Description Include Density Setting

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

   The imported (Altium) footprint gets a String including the component description.
This information does currently V2015-08 not include density level setting L/M/N

RESC2012X70L
RESC2012X70M
RESC2012X70N
They all get the description
Resistor, Chip; 2.00 mm L X 1.25 mm W X 0.70 mm H body

I would suggest to add the Density Level information as well
Density Level A, Maximum Land Protusion
Density Level B, Nominal Land Protusion
Density Level C, Least Land Protusion

We also attach the information if the footprint is for reflow or wave soldering
Reflow
Wave

	For Wave Solder, you need to create a set of User Preferences to auto-generate an entire Wave Solder library with a different Environment Letter (like WL, WN or WM). RESC2012X70WL RESC2012X70WM RESC2012X70WN They all get the description Resistor, Chip; 2.00 mm L X 1.25 mm W X 0.70 mm H body

	Note: the FPX file only contains these elements - Component Dimensions Polarity Marking Local Fiducials Mfr. Recommended Pattern 3D STEP Color The Density Level is created when the parts are exported to the CAD tool. The FPX file is Neutral format (no density levels).
