IPC recommends that Legend outlines should not be placed under a component, especially a chip component.
Also, you can only do what you recommend on a 1206 or larger. You can't fit legend inside the pins of 0201 or 0402 or 0603. |

Hi, is there a way to get the "old" Library expert style for the Legend of chip components back? Now it is only possible to get this LP Calculator style like in the picture above.
Thanks Robert |

We have received a high volume of requests to remove Legend Markings for micro-miniature. You have 100% control of the Legend (Top & Bottom) and Assembly Drawing (Top & Bottom) in the "Drafting Symbols" tool bar menu. Watch this video for some tips - These are the marking shapes that are available for you to insert into the footprint. You select the Shape, Size, Line Width, Layer and Location. You can also fill or not fill closed polygons.  Here is an 0402 Chip Capacitor with Legend Lines that I quickly inserted a line shape, line length, line width, line location, rotation, layer that I wanted -  I could have selected a rectangle to completely encompass the entire part perimeter. But I choose lines that I could make any length I want. These lines are saved in the FPX file and you can edit them any time you want by simply selecting "Right Mouse Button > Shapes" and then double click on the Legend shape to modify it. We try to make Library Expert compatible for all users. |
