Or, maybe you use your EAGLE files, which don&#8217;t have accompanying 3D models to begin with. <meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/meta>Well, we have great news!

With this update, you can now map&nbsp;or create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/fusion-360-flexible-3d-modeling-design-software\/\">3D model<\/a> for your parts&nbsp;directly from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/3d-pcb-fusion-360-tutorial\/\">PCB<\/a> and schematic workspaces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get into how to use the Package Editor to accomplish this, let&#8217;s dig into how parts, the Library Editor and the Package Editor fit together. As a first step, it&#8217;s important to understand what&nbsp;an electronic part consists&nbsp;of in the Library Editor \u2014 this will help you understand how the Library Editor is broken down:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Schematic Symbol&nbsp;is the&nbsp;logical&nbsp;representation&nbsp;of the part&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A footprint&nbsp;is the physical pattern of an electronic component&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A package is the union of the&nbsp;Footprint&nbsp;and a 3D model&nbsp;(Optional)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The&nbsp;union&nbsp;on&nbsp;Footprint&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Symbol&nbsp;is called the&nbsp;Device&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"all-about-the-fusion-library-editor\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">All about the Fusion Library Editor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As an electronic engineer, as soon as I grasp the functionality&nbsp;of what I need my design&nbsp;to do, I want&nbsp;to open my application and begin putting it together immediately. But before&nbsp;I do that,&nbsp;I need to find the parts I need. Most electronics&nbsp;engineers&nbsp;dread this process.&nbsp;I personally use&nbsp;every possible&nbsp;search engine to find the part&nbsp;I&nbsp;need&nbsp;before making a part from scratch.&nbsp;After spending hours looking around for your parts&nbsp;and&nbsp;downloading&nbsp;several&nbsp;models&nbsp;that will suit your design needs, it&#8217;s common to realize that they&#8217;re&nbsp;outdated or&nbsp;have errors&nbsp;once you start using them.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is&nbsp;when you&nbsp;know&nbsp;you&#8217;ll&nbsp;need&nbsp;to make your parts from scratch.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fusion Library Editor itself consists of four editors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Schematic Symbol Editor&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Footprint editor\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Package Editor&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Device Editor&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A footprint is the physical pattern of an electronic component.&nbsp;In the spec sheet,&nbsp;you will see all the mechanical details&nbsp;for your part.&nbsp;Manually making the&nbsp;Footprint&nbsp;according to its mechanical&nbsp;information&nbsp;can be&nbsp;challenging&nbsp;since you need to find a grid that would provide the specific pad spacing,&nbsp;specify pad size,&nbsp;then&nbsp;place each pad one at a time.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-use-the-package-editornbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use the <strong>Package Editor<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mapping 3D Models in Fusion 360 Electronics | Autodesk Fusion 360\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5HQVCsh2Mzs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen style=\"aspect-ratio:500 \/ 281;width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">From the context menu, you can select the option to add a 3D model or edit an existing 3D model from the Package Editor \u2014 you can select a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/import-step-file-into-fusion-360\/\">STEP file<\/a> or use one of the available templates. This makes it simple for you to get a 3D model of your PCB so you can insert it in your enclosure and make sure you have no interferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start searching all over the place for a matching 3D model,&nbsp;let me tell you about the Package Editor&nbsp;and&nbsp;its&nbsp;IPC-compliant&nbsp;calculator.&nbsp;You see, only making the&nbsp;Footprint&nbsp;was not enough for our team of developers. Why not give you the necessary tools to make the&nbsp;Footprint&nbsp;and the 3D model all in&nbsp;the&nbsp;same step? The Package Editor&nbsp;calculator&nbsp;goes beyond IPC standard parts&nbsp;including,&nbsp;DIP,&nbsp;Headers, PCB hardware,&nbsp;and others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After selecting the correct template and entering the component&nbsp;mechanical details,&nbsp;the package calculator will&nbsp;generate&nbsp;the Footprint and&nbsp;map&nbsp;the 3D model&nbsp;using the&nbsp;specification you have entered. You will also notice you have the option to enter manufacturer tolerances.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"fill-in-3d-model-blanks-with-the-package-editor\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fill in 3D model blanks with the Package Editor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We strongly recommend that you&nbsp;map&nbsp;the 3D models to&nbsp;your footprints in the Library Editor&nbsp;since it&nbsp;will be&nbsp;sustainable for all future designs.&nbsp;But&nbsp;what happens if&nbsp;you&nbsp;have designs&nbsp;that&nbsp;don&#8217;t&nbsp;have&nbsp;all or some of&nbsp;the&nbsp;parts mapped with 3D models.&nbsp;No problem!
