Standard – standard electrical footprint loaded onto the board always synchronized, always in the BOM. Type – use this field to determine the type of footprint. Description – use this field to add a meaningful description for the footprint. Name – use this field to specify the footprint's name. Double-click a footprint in the Footprints region of the PCB Library panel. With the desired footprint active in the main design window, use the Tools » Footprint Properties command from the main menus. The dialog is accessed from the PCB Library Editor in the following ways: This dialog allows you to specify various properties for the active footprint in the current PCB Library document. My option to copy from the library is greyed out, and I have tried several hours trying to get around it with no avail.Two iterations of the PCB Library Footprint dialog: on the left, the dialog as it appears when access from a file-based PCB Library document on the right, the dialog as it appears when defining a footprint from a Workspace. 
Right-click in the list of footprint names and choose Paste. Right-click and choose Copy, switch to the target library, Using the standard SHIFT + Click or CTRL + Click, Or select one or more footprints in the list in the PCB Library panel
Select Edit » Copy Component when the footprint to be copied is active in the PCB Library Editor,Ĭhange to the open PCB destination library and select Edit » Paste Component , Select placed footprint(s) in a PCB document and copy ( Edit » Copy )Īnd paste them into an open PCB library using Edit » Paste Component, or If you want to copy existing footprints to your PCB library, you can: The copied footprint can then be renamed and modified to match the specifications required. You can copy existing footprints into your PCB library. This is Altium 09 and not the new one with access to the vault.Īccording to the website: Adding Footprints from Other Sources I want to start my own library and eventually end with a big library.
