How can I add SMD_CAP library to schematics capture?

#1 Post by sebae » 11 Mar 2018, 04:52

Hi, I am beginner of Diptrace.

I spent many times, But can't add SMD_CAP.lib to Componet window.

SMD_CAP exist as a .lib file, Component Support only .eli.

How can I add SMD capacitor ?

Are you looking to add a custom component library named "SMD_CAP", or are you trying to find the SMD capacitors in the supplied standard DipTrace libraries?
