In the process of Or CAD drawing, if the component pins are too many, too complex (such as integrated IC, SATA port, etc.), if it is still the same as creating a simple component, time-consuming and laborious but also error-prone, it will inevitably greatly increase the difficulty of the work and reduce efficiency, so this experience is shared with you, so as to quickly and easily create complex components. Get twice the result with half the effort!

Open the CAPTURE software, project, add a library, then select the added library, right-click and select NEW PART
After taking the number of the component name, enter the component editing page, according to the size and package form of the component to develop the specification and shape of the component, here I use an 88PIN foot IC for a tutorial

Select the name and number columns as shown in the picture, CTRL+INSERT copy, at the same time open Excel sheet, paste in.
Modify the PIN pin name and number in the Excel table, directly copy and paste it into Excel in the component DATASHEET, which is convenient and not prone to error. Finally, adjust the table according to your own packaging form, select the modified column, copy it, and go to the software to shift+insert paste. The finished picture is as follows. I simply selected some PIN names. What is important is how to quickly and accurately establish complex components.
Note that copying and pasting between CAPTURE and Excel is different from traditional copying and pasting.
If the component DATASHEET file is in PDF format, you need to convert it into an editable WORD document before copying and pasting it into an Excel table.
