All three are automatically linked, unifying the elements of the part as a single component with multiple views for logical, physical, and 3D. With Ultra Librarian for OrCAD, it is now easier than ever to search, preview and download symbols, footprints, and 3D models. Finding the correct combinations is yet another challenge left to the design team. If all of the parts are sourced separately or built at different times, they may not be in sync which can lead to miscommunication and design errors. Part libraries are often disjointed, with symbols in one place, footprints in another and 3D models somewhere else. PCB designers spend too much time searching for parts for their designs, ultimately slowing down their productivity. Wouldn’t it be nice to simply download a matched set? How many times have you worked on a design where three different people created the symbol, footprint, and 3D model-and of course they don’t match? The symbol doesn’t have the right number of pins the footprint is a generic version that’s close the 3D model is the right type, but the solder points don’t quite line up with the footprint pads the problems seem endless.
