In Sprint Layout 6, How do I import macros that I download or get from other sources. And.., does anyone have a macro for an MSOP-8 or can you tell me how to find them in the Macro list in SL6. I should be receiving some HV7802MG-G High side current monitors soon and I want to incorporate them into a project I have started in SL6 Any help will be appreciated. Cheers |

I've worked it out. Just drop them into C:/users/public/public documents/Layout60/Makros. |

You beat me to it!  Exactly as you say.  Some footprints you just have to design yourself, and then save them as a makro - then you can use them later. I did quite a few of my own ones. If you want me to upload them as a ZIP file, let me know. It includes an MSOP-8 footprint.  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Thanks Graeme. I would appreciate your Makros. I already have some from way back but I suspect someone as industrious as yourself would have created a lot more by now. I have just finished designing my first (test) board and was about to order from JLPCB when I decided to add more functionality (stuff, junk whatever) . This will require me to turn it into a double sided board - just to add to the learning curve. Cheers |

Here you go: MACROS(Graeme's).zip Create another folder under MAKROS, and extract all the LMK files into it. MSOP-8 footprint is included. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |
