Tips for Managing Footprint Libraries in PCB Desig

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

   Hi all,

I’m currently working on improving my PCB design workflow, and I’ve noticed that managing footprint libraries can be quite time-consuming, especially when dealing with multiple component suppliers and custom parts.

I’d love to hear how other designers handle this. Do you rely mostly on manufacturer-provided footprints, build your own from scratch, or use third-party libraries?

Looking forward to your insights and best practices!

Thanks in advance!
