* Footprint Expert users can optionally purchase POD subscription to access any part on POD (100, 250, or 500 downloads/month limit).
** All Footprint Expert outputs (CAD formats and 3D STEP) are licensed separately. FPX data can be converted to 3D STEP only for standard parts (all Surface Mount and Through-hole component families listed in the Footprint Expert), not the more unique parts, such as connectors.
Are you using the LP Wizard or older solution we developed years ago? Most components built back then are now obsolete! You need to see our newest library solution - see what you are missing! Remember, PCB libraries are our passion - it is not just "another thing" we do. It is ALL we do!
