Create footprint files option

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

   Hi,

In the Library Expert Pro, after entering the data when I click the Spanner icon to Create Footprint, I am only getting 3D STEP output option. I am not able to create Footprint output files for Allegro, which is my default tool. Please let me know how I can create Footprint files needed to use for Allegro.

Thanks & regards,
Vinay

	This issue was fixed in the V2018.07 release. You must to go to "Help > Installed Options > Select CAD tool" Or in the CAD tool "Create Footprint" menu, drop down the "Translator" option and select a CAD tool. Then select 3D STEP on the Right > Middle checkbox. When you output to Allegro, be sure to read the CAD tool import instructions - http://www.pcblibraries.com/products/fpx/userguide/default.asp?ch=206 ;
