Hi,

I am relatively new to Library Expert.

I have a new part built up and it's in my library. Is there an easy way to get PCB Libraries to pull the Manufacturer, Part Number, and other information?

It seems tedious to have to add all these fields manually.

Thanks,

Hugo

To insert the Manufacturer, only type 2 or 3 characters and a list pops up with the correct spelling.

The Part Number is Copy/Paste or.... you should start out a new FPX file from an Excel BOM spreadsheet that already has all those cells filled out.

That link was broken for me and says something about an Internal Server Error.

What about the case code?
