How to find components/parts/libraries?
The component search function has been significantly improved to make finding part symbols and footprints quicker and easier. Press SHIFT+F
or click on the Libraries
icon on the left navigation panel:
In the new components dialog, it is easy to select the right components via tags and you can set tags for your own components.
How to add the components of the system library to the favorite?
Details
Since the standard edition cannot add other components to the COMMONLY LIBRARY, only the professional edition can, so we can take advantage of the collection function.Select components and click the right mouse button to add favorites.Find my collection in my workspace, where all the components are stored.
How to export a library file?
Details
We need to open and edit the library file, then export it as EDA source code, or export the AD file.
If you want to transfer to easyeda you can choose to put the components in the project, then import the project and extract the library file this way will be faster.
How to export library files?
Details
In the standard version, you can only do this by placing the device symbols and footprints separately on the canvas and then exporting the library file separately.
How to modify properties such as angles of a 3d model?
Details
Select the component whose 3d model you want to modify, then find the 3d model in the right property bar and double-click the input field.
You can then enter the changes or drag the drawing to make changes, and click "Update" when you're done.
How to create a new 3d model?
Details
Currently, we do not support creating a new 3d model in easyeda design, we are only able to support importing a new 3d model file.
Select the file you need to import, but we only support importing obj, wrl, zip format files.
After importing, the 3d model will be saved inside the 3d model in your personal library. Note that the 3d model needs to be bound to the project's components before it can be used.
How to bind a 3d model?
Details
Replacing the 3d model needs to be done in the pcb interface, after selecting the components, click on the right property bar to enter the 3d model manager.
After entering the 3d Model Manager, you can search for the system library model or personal library model you want to bind.
Another way is when there are multiple models that need to be bound, you can just go to the 3d Model Manager in the top menu bar and then bind them.
