In addition to the techniques described on the Creating a PCB Footprint page, the IPC Footprint Batch Generator can be used to generate multiple footprints at multiple density levels.
Creating a Footprint Using the IPC Footprint Batch Generator Type the new footprint name that uniquely identifies it in the Name field then click OK. To do this, select PCBComponent_1 from the Footprints list in the panel then click the Edit button in the panel or double-click PCBComponent_1 to open the PCB Library Footprint dialog. Since a new library always contains one empty PCB footprint, you can also rename Component_1 to get started on creating a footprint. To create a new PCB footprint in an existing library, you would normally select Tools » New Blank Footprint. Creating a New PCB FootprintĪny number of PCB footprints can be created in a PCB library. If you have a PCB design with all the footprints already placed, you could use the Design » Make PCB Library command in the PCB editor to generate a PCB library that includes only those footprints.
