Most importantly, it allowed us full flexibility in terms of using each layer accurately, making sure we could do things like make the symbols the same native color as within Altium (which so many of you asked for), and accurately defined slotted holes. This makes it easy to simply double-click to open the symbol & footprint library – no importers or import process required! IntLib integrated library format provided by Altium.

If you don’t use Altium, you may be interested in our recent updates for KiCad.Įarlier this year, we updated our Altium exporter to support the. To help us further improve your experience, here are the updates we’ve made in the last 6 weeks since we read through every piece of feedback in our 2020 annual survey. Engineers told us that they wanted to ensure that when they download a CAD model from SnapEDA that it fits within their existing designs well, in terms of style and size – and that it’s seamless to import. In mere months, our component engineering team added nearly 700,000 new CAD models (check out this post and this post to see more).Īnother popular request though was related to engineers’ desire for native CAD models in their PCB design format of choice. The top request – understandably – was that engineers simply wanted more symbols, footprints and 3D models. In this year’s annual survey, we asked engineers what we could do to continue improving the CAD models we provide on SnapEDA.
