Keywords for finding components in the library

#1 Post by sairfan1 » 15 Oct 2021, 04:46

Its a great feature that Diptrace has huge components library that can helps user to build a design very quickly.

Problem:
I found a big issue while finding components in components library, the name of components are very specific, may be because its based on manufacturer? Its really hard for a user like me to know technical names of components and where we have such a huge library its not even possible.

Example:
I was trying to find USB micro foot prints but i was not able to find, I learned creating a new pattern takes less time than finding one in the library, Yes disptrace pattern designer is amazing very powerful I love that.

Solution:
I believe we can attach keywords to each components where we can put simple words that a user can use in the search query like in my case "USB", "Micro", "Connector" its not issue if in result i get 15 or 20 components it does not take too much time to go through a short list, rather its good to see faces of some components that you may need in future.

It would be a plus if user can also put a keyword by its own choice, this will greatly help to find same component in future.
