In addition to footprints, company logos, fabrication definitions, and other objects required during board design can also be saved as PCB components. PCB component footprints are created in the PCB footprint editor using the same set of primitive objects available in the PCB editor. Position and Routing the Jumpers on the PCBĮven with a rich set of resources providing ready-made PCB components (such as the Manufacturer Part Search panel), it is likely that at some point in your career you will need to create a custom PCB component.Suggested Workflow for Working with Jumpers.Footprints With Multiple Pads Connected to the Same Pin.
