To keep your workspace clean, create descriptive subfolders within the main Macros directory (e.g., _SMD_ICs , _Connectors , _Arduino ). Sprint Layout mirrors this folder structure directly inside the software's sidebar.

If you modify an existing footprint or design a unique one from scratch, save it immediately. Simply select the entire component layout on your canvas, go to the macro panel, and select "Save as macro..." to build your own bulletproof, personalized library over time.

Select a macro to see its footprint preview at the bottom of the library.

Footprints for LM2596 or mini MP1584EN buck module boards. RF Modules: NRF24L01+ and HC-05 Bluetooth modules. 7. Hardware, Test Points, & Graphics

Quad Flat Packages commonly used for microcontrollers like the ATmega328P or STM32.

To keep your PCB designs flawless, keep these expert tips in mind when working with macros:

Various diameters (4mm to 22mm) with precise lead spacing. Tantalum Capacitors: SMD cases A, B, C, D, and E. MELF Resistors: High-reliability cylindrical SMD packages.

Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC), Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), and Quad Flat Package (QFP) layouts with various pin pitches (0.5mm, 0.65mm, 1.27mm). 3. Connectors, Switches, and Hardware

Radial footprints ranging from 5mm to 18mm diameters. Disc Capacitors: Standard 2.54mm and 5.08mm lead spacing.

The bedrock of modern SMD design.

HC-49/S (large) and smaller SMD 3225 crystals for clock timing. Test Points: Dedicated copper pads for oscilloscope probes. How to Install and Manage These Macros To use these in Sprint-Layout 6.0, follow these steps:

Unpack the downloaded .zip or .rar archive. Move the folders containing the .lmk files directly into the root Macros directory.

If you want, I can:

Single and dual-row pin headers with standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) and 2.0mm pitches.
