Decal from Pads layout
@fgarini from your image I get this:
Is it correct?

yes it is centered
Just as a note, I found this cool website for downloading CAD 3D models for electronic components, both in a mechanical format (STEP) and in a electronical format. (Orcad, Altium, Pads... you name it!) This is what ST Microelectronics itself uses as a 3D database for its own stuff.
here the rules for the land pattern of LGA package
snapshot is taken from this ST Technical note
Component generated, see commit above.
sorry @Lawproto , can you check the following things?
I noted in the parts all parameters are missing, same for the relation.
I opened the step directly, now I see why it is better to start from new part so it inherits good things from the template. :)
The mass proprieties are not right....
Same as above.
the unit are in MM Newton Second and not mm Kg Sec
Same as above.
the footprint must be above the part , it is not valid to trace it 😜 ... you have to create it from datasheet , we use it as a check I noted little discrepancy on the dimensions.
OK.
Remember you have to create the model using the maximum tollerances you find in the datasheet ( in this case 2.6x3.1).
I am not agreeing with this since I downloaded the model from the manufacturer's website. Seems a pretty legit way to me.
No @Lawproto , it's very important have a maximum dimensions in the cad-libraries parts ( the same happen for the PADS libraries parts ) The best better to proceed is "import" the step file in a new parts , not open directly the step file, this can solve many things for you. All our components are done in this way. if you are convinced otherwise, we can discuss it.
The wiki invites you to download the model the model but does not mention maximum tolerances at all.
If this aspect is all that important, the wiki should be changed accordingly. However, this way we are strongly hampering the convenience of having the 3D geometry directly from the manufacturer website for too little of an advantage in exchange, in my opinion.
I understand the reasoning behind this, yet even for mechanical components - if you think about it - the vast majority of the dimensions 3Ds are modelled by represent the central value of their tolerance range (see general ISO tolerances). Why use a different approach in this case?
So, I am still for using supplier's 3Ds as they are, if possible.
What is the tolerance we have for components placing in a PCB and PCB dimensions, anyway?
The alias here - LSM6DSLTR
- does not match with the alias in WinGST:
@fgarini which is the correct one?
@marcellosavoldi I am trying to recreate the footprint without referencing the 3D model, as you suggested. I am having trouble finding a y-axis
reference in the datasheet for the three pins group, though:
What should we do in cases like this?
Hi @Lawproto alias sometimes is related to the P/N some times not, for example capacitor are
CAP-0402-X7R-100NF-16V-10TOL
sometimes related to the P/N
The important thing is that it is unique for each P/N in our lib and it is correctly linked
@Lawproto, anyway due to the fact that this component is not used yet on our boards I will change the alias according with the P/N to avoid future misunderstanding (it will be used in the PMC5) from LSM6DSL to LSM6DSL to LSM6DSLTR cc @MrAndrea @GiorgioZini @fgarini

I suppose 0.1...

I think is better open an issue for this... could be interesting deepen the discussion. In any case I think is very important for the component keep the maximum dimensions...
I think is better open an issue for this...
Yes, I agree. We can open an issue to collect all the comments/ideas on the procedure. Then next week we can organize a call to review the comments.
I will open an issue with my comments ASAP. @fiorisi @marcellosavoldi
@Lawproto can you check also the missing boxes before closing the issue?
Let me know if you need help. 🙂
@fiorisi OK.
Added details about PLUG connector
seems not proper for this component - it is not a connector. Should I check it, anyway?Converted the files with the EDU-COM license
's meaning. Can you help me?@fiorisi OK.

No, you can leave it un-ticked
- I am not sure about

Now save the part and remember to un-check the licences EDU_Com Convert after saving.
