Create IPC Compliant PADS Libraries with LP Wizard
On-demand Web Seminar
Abstract
Land pattern creation for PADS is quick and easy with LP Wizard. Build and manage your CAD library and documentation with proven technology from IPC.
Duration: 46:40
Details
Overview
It's easy to build IPC compliant PADS libraries when you have the LP (Land Pattern) Wizard. We'll show you how LP Wizard uses component dimensions to dynamically create CAD library parts in only minutes. The seamless interface can output the data in any version of PADS Layout.
The LP Wizard also captures all of the component dimensions and rules, which can easily be read with our free LP Viewer. Anyone in your organization can quickly browse your corporate CAD library and locate the correct Land Pattern Name every time. Increase your productivity and improve your PCB quality with LP Wizard.
What You Will Learn
- How to build one or 10,000 IPC compliant CAD land patterns (library parts) for PADS Layout in minutes
- How to search for parts using component dimensions or manufacturer data
- How to verify your library data to ensure all parts match your DRC rules
