Damn!

There goes our "One World Library"! I wish people would stop doing things on their own... :) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Happy Holidays.

Sure would be nice to get some signal instead of noise.

Perhaps "Cad" could post a web page with dedicated java database translators which take any (or is "most" good enough?) library formats and output in a different library format. Cad, try doing this in your spare time, or when you are laid off next.

Actually Michael that's exactly what the former pcbstandards.com groups is attempting to do. The full IPC-7351 land pattern library will get ported to XML which then will allow you to import it into Orcad Layout (assuming Cadence supports the XML format used). :)

I had created the SMTPlus land patterns for Allegro, then another 'master library' came out, now IPC-7351. I only create the lib parts I need now. I've got at least 5 CDs full of schematic parts/allegro footprints that I can pull from. What's the master? Whatever I deem to use.

I don't want to get down on what's being developed, but I've created way too many footprints for too many companies, and nothing's perfect.

Happy Holidays.
