This connector cannot be created automatically using the IPC Compliant Footprint Wizard, so it must be created manually using the recommended PCB layout view from the datasheet. If you have closed the tab with this component, search for it in the Components panel, right-click on its name then select Edit. Let’s create a footprint for the GSB343K33HR component whose symbol was created in chapter 5.1. In Altium Designer, the process of creating footprints is simple, convenient and protected from errors as much as possible. Any error in the placement of the footprint pads can lead to problems, up to and including the inability to assemble the final device, so library designers should be very careful while creating footprints. Also, the component itself will be soldered onto these contact points, so their configuration should be fully consistent with the actual metal objects of the component. Component footprints contain a set of graphical primitives and copper pads or holes that will be connected to the conductors and will provide a connection. Updating From the PCB: If a footprint is changed in the PCB document, associated schematic components can have their footprint reference updated by running the command from the PCB document, Design Update Schematics. The next step in creating the component is to design the footprint. Selecting the schematic component, under the Parameters section, click the Add button and select Footprint.
