Importing a package means bringing the solderable footprint pattern to the PCB layout. Using "New PCB with Schematic", packages are assigned to symbols in the sense of a [[Package proposal|Package proposal]]. Using "New PCB without Schematic", you can use all packages in the sense of a free package. "Free" means free from being proposed. Sure you can use free packages in the "New PCB with Schematic" mode too. I. e. you can deviate from the package proposal. 

To import a package:
*select in layout [[Menu Package]] / '''"Import Package"'''
*press directly the '''[INSERT]''' or '''[e]''' key
*select the icon [[Image:InsertPackage.jpg]] 

Now you first have to select the component from a list to which the package to be imported is assigned (for example: for IC1).
 

[[Image:e_GhsImportierenDLG1.jpg|none]] 

In case you wish to deviate from the free package (a package with no reference to the schematic), select free package. A dialog will appear for selecting a library on the right side and the package of choice on the left side. 

[[Image:e_GhsImportierenDLG2.jpg|none]] 

Usually, a library and a package will be suggested. In most cases, you should confirm this suggestion with OK. You should only edit this dialog if you are sure that you need a completely different package (for example: SMD16 instead of DIL16). After you confirmed this import dialog, the package will be placed on the PCB. The package outline is attached on the cursor and can be placed [[Mousekeys|'''M1''']], or rotated at a preset value with [[Mousekeys|'''M2''']]. Get rid of it by [[Mousekeys|'''M12''']]. 

Components in TARGET 3001! come from the libraries generally meant for being mounted on the top layer. Those non-smd ones are meant for being soldered from the bottom side. You initially view them by blue footprints. Blue is the default color of layer "16 Copper top". Because you always have a view from the top layers through all other layers to to the bottom layer. If you fade out layer 16, you will see the footprints in red. That means a conventional pad looks that way: 

[[Image:PadSkeleton.jpg]] 

From which side you lead a signal track on it, depends on you. A pad can be a conventional one (going with a drillhole through all layers, being tinned at the inside and having the same shape on the top side and on the bottom side) or a SMD one located either on the top side (blue) or on the bottom side (red). Bringing a component to the opposite layer is very easy: flip it by mirroring! Use the key '''[m]''' after having highlighted it. '''[m]''' is for a horizontal mirroring, that means the mirror axis is vertical. [Shift]+[m] is for a vertical mirroring that means the mirror axis is horizontal. Please note that the cursor position defines the location of the mirror axis. So do not move the cursor too far away from your desired package when mirroring. You might flip it out of screen. You will recognize by the change of colors of the pads that you brought it to the opposite layer. Play a bit with it, and you will see it is easy! 

If a text element belongs to a package drawing, the following names will be exchanged: The name !COMPONENT or a text saved as the component name, will be exchanged with the component designator (IC1, R1); the name !VALUE or a text saved as the component value, will be exchanged with the component value (4000, R). Package import. 

If you wish to '''transport a component e.g. by eMail''', please note:
only libraries can be transported, single components can't. This means you need to copy the component to an individual library. In consequence this library might have only one component. Because you may have a symbol and a footprint pattern you will have two libraries. One lib for the symbol *.sym3001 and one lib for the footprint *.pck3001. Your friend will copy these libs to his libs folder and use the part like any part of a certain lib.
