content: Hi everybodyI think this thread can be useful for guys to request for lib.

content: Quote from: Jon86 on December 01, 2013, 11:55:38 amI mean, if you need to a footprint you can request it in this thread that if other guys have it, put it here for you. ok?

content: If you want a library then a picture doesn't do you any good. Give us a datasheet with mechanical drawings that has dimensions on it.Piece of cake to make then.I made about 30 parts yesterday in three hours for a project im working on. And that includes schematic, pcb and 3d models including ordering information. Some had no step model i could find so i drew my own 3D model in Rhino (Tdk i ductors, panasonic thru hole filmcaps, rf shielding cans )That led should take no more than a few minutes to make. Its 3 pads , a shape on silkscreen and a clone of an exisiting schematic symbol with a different link.

content: Standard parts are rather easy, but some might be challenging and time consuming. Weird inductors, connectors, switches, sockets and the like being a good example. Especially when you don;t have a datasheet just the component in your hand and you have to measure everything "live" with calipers and such.

content: @free_electronOk!I attached(it contans three model. for three model).then I want to design this components after this led.@poorchavaI think this topic will be usefull for that reason you mentioned and also we can collect the all components that guys will put here for requsts of other guys. it will be a good and complete package(library) for guys.

content: I second making your own. Altium makes it very simple.Otherwise by the time you check somebody else's one and make sure it's done correctly, you might as well do it yourself

content: A good way to check if you've done footprint for an unusual part right, is to check for 3d model. Good chance you will find one on 3dcontentcentral. It may help you check whether you haven't made some stupid mistake.
