Either way, please make sure that you select a folder that it also present under 3D Model Folders in DipTrace.ġ – Search for a part on our or a partners website e.g. Note that DipTrace has default folder(s) setup that can be reviewed by selecting “3D Preview->Patterns and Models Search.” from the Tools menu in the PCB Layout. If you want to review these at any point, you can click the Help link in the same dialog.ġ – Change “Your ECAD Tool” in Library Loader to “DipTrace” and then click Settings.Ģ – Click the browse button to select the folder in which the 3D model files will be copied and then click OK.

To prevent these instructions from showing every time you download a part, please uncheck “Show Library Import Instructions” from the DipTrace settings in Library Loader. Please note you MUST have Library Loader V2.41 or later to work with the DipTrace ASCII *.asc files which also include 3D Models. Setting up Library Loader for use with DipTrace Now save it, import to your schematic editor and it's ready to use Make sure that pins matchs pads, you can find other section of the switch in menu above called "parts" When you import it to the field, doble click it and you should see it in the black field above along with your schematic simbol. In this window click add next to the "library" and find the file with your patter. Now in upper menu -> component -> attach pattern You can change it in right click -> pin properties or (better) pin menager Make sure that the pattern pads and component (schematic) pin numbers have correct numbers Draw another section (spdt) as you just did before. On the low left corner you can find bookmark called part 1, rigt click -> add -> and you have part two.

Ok, you could draw full 2pdt, 3pdt or whatever in there, but the correct way, and more user friendly way is the way described below: Now using the lines (or other shapes for other components) draw the shape of switch's schematic simbol and you're half way

You can choose pins or pin sets freely in the main manu above the work field (looks like sort of magic wand with green surrounding) but the above procedure is the correct way how to do it Next name it and in RefDes type SW (if you wont type anything there, diptrace will name components "U" by default Open the editor and using the same component properties menu as with pattern pads choose "2 sides" in type menu, in width and pin spacing type the numbers of your choice, "left pins" and "right pins" type one and one. If you don't have schematic simbol you have to draw it in component editor Just a quick tips how to attach your pattern to the schematic If anything is unclear, ask the questions. Save it and attach from the component editor You can predefine the wide of component's silkscreen, but imo 0.25mm is fine * select "1" and type in X field -6.1 (half the width) and 8.6 in Y field (half the height of the switch) place the square in to the work field over the switch -> right mouse click -> properties Well almost - you can add the square simbol with switch's outter diameter for silkscreening. It's more less personal choice when it comes to the pad size, but try to make the sizo of the hole bit bigger than 0.8mm.Ĭlick ok, and ok, and that's all. * you can define all the pad properties like the shape, wide of the pad, hole dimension or it's shape.
you can predefine spec of the pads in "type / dimensions" -> "pattern's pad properties." right click mouse and go to "properties" * "refdes" - if it's a switch type SW, if resistor - R, capacitor - C - you get the idea.
* "name" - give it a name like DPDT pcb, mini dpdt or whatever
* next two fields "pad spacing" and "line spacing" you typing spacing/dimensions from your datasheet (7.1mm (?) and 7.1mm in this case) in the work field you have a manu titteled "pattern properties" have technical sheet of your switch in hand launch diptrace, you see the starting menu - choose pattern editor So, I'm not sure how advanced you are in those things, but I'm assuming that you know you need both schematic simbol as well as the pattern
