Ultra Librarian

Ultra Librarian (UL) is a portal for downloading CAD data of electronic components. This mainly involves the schematic symbol, the soldering foot pattern and a 3D model. These data can be easily integrated into the TARGET 3001! - component database. The following images illustrate the individual steps:

Ultra Librarian
Image: UL list of results. First of all, we are interested in the models, which means the CAD data.


Ultra Librarian
Image: Available models can be seen in the preview which UL offers.


Ultra Librarian
Image: UL offers all three characteristic forms for this component. The views can be varied, see buttons below the images. A click on the Download button opens a dialog to select the CAD tool. In our case it is TARGET 3001!


Ultra Librarian
Image: Tick the box at TARGET 3001! for schematic symbol and footprint pattern. Also tick the box to load the step model (3D view).


Ultra Librarian
Image: UL delivers the data in CXF and STEP format. Save the zip file in any directory.


Ultra Librarian
Image: The zip file contains the items shown...


Ultra Librarian
Image: ...and saves them to a directory of your choice.


Ultra Librarian
Image: Now open the component database in TARGET 3001! and import the data first as CXF.


Ultra Librarian
Image: Circuit diagram and solder foot pattern are transmitted through the CXF format.


Ultra Librarian
Image: That is how it prformss in TARGET 3001!


Ultra Librarian
Image: To import the step model for the 3D view, click with the right mouse button on the coordinate system and select the "Edit 3D" option.


Ultra Librarian
Image: An extruded polygon of the outline shall not be created, because we want to import a nice 3D model. So we choose "No" here. If a step file lacks, the representation of the component body as an extruded polygon is a fast alternative. The component contour is brought to height so that a cuboid or a cylinder or - depending on the contour - another body is created.


Ultra Librarian
Image: Das landing pattern zeigt die Markierung im Südosten. Pad Nummer 1 wird also auf der horizontalen Reihe im Süden erwartet und zwar an Position links außen. Drücken Sie jetzt den Knopf zum Import einer Step-Datei.


Ultra Librarian
Image: Im sich öffnenden Dialog werden Sie aufgefordert das entsprechende file zu laden. Eventuell ist es erforderlich, das Modell auszurichten, denn nicht immer kommt das Objekt passgenau herein.


Ultra Librarian
Image: Man kann also die 3D-AbImageung an den Koordinatenachsen drehen, oder verschieben, bis die AbImageung keinen Versatz mehr zeigt.


Ultra Librarian
Image: Nach OK, schließen Sie alle Dialoge incl. der Datenbank. Ihr Bauteil befindet sich jetzt in der Datenbank und kann für Designs in TARGET verwendet werden.
