How to Use This Dialog
The dialog is divided into two sections. The left-hand section shows the footprints found in the footprint libraries, and the right-hand section shows the footprints currently listed in the part.
A filter is provided to allow the footprints shown in the library list to be restricted by entering a wildcard value for footprint name. The pin count is defaulted to show only footprints that have the defined number of pins for the part. If the part’s pin count is as yet undefined, footprints with any number of pins are shown and the part’s pin count will be taken from the selected footprint(s). All footprints referenced by any one part must have the same number of pins.
To add a footprint to the part, select the required item in the left-hand list and press Add. Alternatively, double-click on the item in the left-hand list.
To remove a footprint from the part, select it in the right-hand list and press Delete or double-click on the item in the right-hand list.
