Altium Designer - Where to find SMD aluminium/electrolytic condensators

[Nicolas Nickisch]

Hi folks,
I am using a trial license of Altium Designer and try to make a small
layout.

Actaually I want to use SMD condensators 100µF aluminium elctrolytic but I
don't find them in the librarys.
The housing is aout 8by8mm with SMD-pads. I didn't find footprints for these
common devices in the IPC-SM-782-library sets o Deigner

Can someone help me ?


Just another question: Is there any tool available which shows me a complete
catatlog of the footprints provided in Deisgner - best would be a PDF-File
which can be printed to check for the right footprints.

IIRC, the Panasonic data sheet for those capacitors has a footprint.

This crops up now and then. Generally, if there isn't a footprint in
the libraries supplied, you simply have to make your own.

That's not a bad thin, as you get to play with the footprint / part /
symbol editor to see what it can (and can't) do, and you get used to
it.
