Support for Etched Inductor Parts
- Create inductor parts in the Library Editor such as Planar Transformers, RF-filters, antennas, or embedded Polymer Thick Film (PTF) resistors.
- Design Planar Transformers using 3rd party software such as Auto Planner Magnetics or PI Expert
- Draw copper patterns in the eCADSTAR footprint editor or import copper patterns from a DXF file as an etched component in the eCADSTAR Footprint Editor.
- Calculate the planar inductance using the toolkit from Saturn PCB design and draw the copper pattern in the eCADSTAR Footprint Editor.
Copy Full Part
- When copying parts from one library to another, the footprint, symbol, 3D model, pad stack and pads are also copied in the same operation. This promotes ease of use, saving time as fewer manual interactions are required.
- When working from home choose from using the central network library or your local library.
- When you want to use the network library again, you can easily transfer the new parts from your local library into the central network library using copy full part
