Seems of the 1000nds of components available i need 2 from this library. Ive tried re-indexing and enabling just these files but nothing seems to help.
Prolib.ssl,psl
Descrete.ssl,psl,cml
I'm at a loss here.
prolib.cml = component library <----this library contains parts that can be selected using "add component"
The component library associates the schematic symbol to the PCB symbol and together they form a "component".
If the library doesn't exist, then it must be created and components created/copied to it.
I recommend creating a new set of library files for custom parts using a unique set of names.
I also recommend creating a new library folder within the exising library folder path for the new libraries.
This is all done using Library Manager.
For example,
The new folder can be named "custom" (be sure to enable the folder)":
C:\users\public\documents\DesignSpark PCB 9.0\Library\custom
Then create each of the following new libraries in the "custom" folder:
mylibrary.cml
mylibrary.ssl
mylibrary.psl
Then copy each of the corresponding parts from the original existing libraries to the new libraries and modify them.
I further recommend to enable only the library folder and libraries containing parts to be used. This will prevent part naming conflicts.
Much of the information to create/add/modify library parts can be found on the DesignSpark PCB users forum.
DesignSpark PCB has a large range of supported modern components online in PCB Part Library (PPL), these are available free to everyone using Library Loader as detailed in the above link. It is rec...
