Protel design doubt

[luis soares]

Hi


I have a doubt, where can i find libraries of components already
designed from NI or AD or MAXIM for protel DXP??
Or do i have to design them myself?

thak you for the attention

DIY, its easier that way. Im not much of a DXP user (99SE works for me,
so no need to upgrade) but my experience with 3rd party libraries has
been ALL BAD. little things like physical size of component tend to be
omitted (this is correlated to, but not the same as, pad layout)

Cheers
Terry

There are some included in some directories, others are
available for download, I prefer to draw my own though,
it is a matter of minutes. You should really subscribe
to the dxp newsgroup available on the Altium server
through their website.

I use DXP/2004 and I agree with Terry. Protel's libraries suck. Especially
if your boards are going to be hand assembled and want a little extra pad
size to solder to.
