Recently, the Ultra Librarian team launched a survey to take the pulse of the PCB design industry. The Ultra Librarian State of the 2018 PCB CAD Library Survey revealed trends regarding designer preferences for component manufacturers, the value of CAD library data, time spent creating library data vs. downloading from an outside source, and where downloaded data should come from. Some results were expected and followed industry norms, but some results show changing trends within the design community.

As more sources become available for ECAD data, designers are looking for ease of use, quality, and coverage of parts. Often, this leads designers to ask the question: how much data does a source truly have? It can be frustrating to search for a component on a data provider’s site only to find out they don’t have the piece of information you need – a footprint, a symbol, or a 3D model. As a designer, your time is valuable and you do not want to waste it searching multiple provider sites for what you need. How can you decipher what data is available from an ECAD data source?

When creating ECAD library data, most designers build components within their CAD tool environment. Oftentimes, this is the only library creation tool available to a designer. Likely, the designer also feels most comfortable creating library data in the tool that they are familiar with and use regularly. However, there are distinct disadvantages to building a component in a CAD-specific format, especially when library data may need to be used in multiple CAD environments. At Ultra Librarian, we use a universal representation model for storing our data and find that it has many advantages. What are the best use models for both universal representation and CAD-specific data?
