PCB Footprint Expert 2022.02

The PCB Footprint Expert separates static stable data (component dimensions) from the ever changing data (library design rules). The program stores component dimensions in a file called FPX and the Rules in a file called DAT. When the component dimensions are mated with the rules, a PCB footprint is auto-generated. Therefore a user can have a single database of component dimensions and pair them with any number of various rule files to batch create customized libraries for different applications for a variety of applications.

The Footprint Expert offers complete control of all the settings you can imagine to create a highly personalized library; or you can use default settings that are defined by the IPC-7351. There is no limit on the number of preference files you can create.
