Hello all, I use Protel version 7.2.92 and do not find all necessary component footprints in the libraries supplied with the software. I frequently make the footprints using information supplied by the component manufacturer. I am considering purchasing IPC SM-782A so I can find the information I need in one place. My first question is does anybody use IPC SM-782A and if so can you comment on the usefulness of this standard? Secondly, does anyone know of an online site where I can down load the footprints so I don't have to make them myself?
