A PCB Design Tutorial for Beginners using Altium Designer 20.
It’s painful to build parts from scratch and extremely time-consuming, but we don’t have models for every single part in Altium Designer that adheres to IPC standards. In this video, you’ll learn how to import the schematic symbol and PCB land pattern (or footprint) for the mounting holes on your PCB using an extremely popular FREE parts database from Ultra Librarian.
Please refer to a standard mounting hole and screw size table to know which hole size you should design for.
Hi, welcome to this free Altium Designer Tutorial for Beginners series. I'm using version 20

Whenever I'm designing a printed circuit board (PCB), I import as many footprints and schematic symbols as possible so that I spend minimal time creating them. From experience, they can easily add 30% more time to my design process and clients paying by the hour would not like that.
So in this video you will learn how to:
Download the right footprint and schematic symbol for a part for Free
Use my method for importing the parts instead of the Import Guides that come with the downloaded part
Use a script to generate a schematic symbol and land pattern
Copy third party schematic symbols and PCB land patterns (footprints) to your own library.
Who this tutorial series is for
Anyone who is using an ECAD software tool and wants to understand the idea of making a PCB from a schematic. Example PCB software would be the popular ones, like Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Mentor Graphics PADS/Xpedition, KiCAD, Autodesk EAGLE, or even Altium (20 or previous versions). Makers, hobbyists, Arduino enthusiasts.
