I read this thread for about two days and would like to tell you what I do
with the library stuff.
First, I only use my private library which contains only footprints and
parts
I used in a design.
Any footprint has a dedicated reference from a schematic part.
The schematic part has a reference to

I started the thread on this subject. I knew the size of this
project was going to be large, that is why I posted the thread in the first
place. I wanted to see if anyone else would like to help or even if anyone
wanted to have a large library system that was free. My idea was to get

Abd ul-Rahman,
a footprint without associated paste mask detailing is only an
incomplete solution. It's like having the PCB without components or a
soldering iron to attach them. So everybody goes off into their corner and
duplicates their time and efforts to prescribe and describe the pas
Hi Ted,
Wow... this really got some very interesting attention... Good points all.
Ted, It sounds like you are working with those guys over at WindRiver in San
Diego. They have undertaken a project to 'standardize' all footprints in
millimeters and provide them with development tools and accessori

All I know is that if you want to accomplish something valuable, get used
to it. It is *much* easier to sit back

For me at least, the issue of a separate list is moot. I'm interested, and
I will (did) subscribe. Then it just comes as more email, mixed in with
mail from all the other lists that I have joined. If a separate list makes
it easier to administer, then I don't mind.
A separate list does have

If you get a chance look over the Defining a CAD library at
www.pcbstandards.com and see what wind river has set up for there standards.
I thought it would be a good idea to try to stay with there standards as we
could use there libraries and they could use ours. It would cut developmen

The suggestions for locating the library on a web site has a lot of merit,
especially in view of the concerns summarised here by Andrew. Software that
is used for on-line catalogue shopping could possibly be adapted, or used as
a model, to allow users to browse through the various permutations po
