two or three pin header?

#1 Post by brianmckee » 21 May 2016, 11:43

I'm using PCB creator and I can't find a schematic symbol for a two pin header (3 will do).

I can make one, but it just feels wrong that it wouldn't already exist.

Is there one? Can someone tell me what library it's in?

Look in the "Con Headers" library.

Thanks for replying.

I'm running PCB Express 2.0, I don't see CON_Headers in the list. I see that DipTrace is up to Rev 3.0. Do you know if it's part of version 3.0 and is PCB Express is going to be upgraded?

Thanks again.

Sorry. I didn't realize that PCB Creator was an old version of DipTrace. Have you tried loading the optional libraries for PCB Creator from the Bay Area Circuits web site? They can be found here - http://bayareacircuits.com/pcb-creator-libraries/

Do you mean PCB Creator? If so, judging by the PCB Creator tutorials on the Bay Area Circuits web site, it is a pre-2.4 version of DipTrace. I don't know what their plans are. You would have to ask someone at DipTrace (Alex or Serg) about that.

Yes. I mean PCB creator.

I haven't tried those libraries because it says at the bottom of the page that they are included. I'll check them out though.

Thanks much.

I think you should update PCB express.
