There are so many features in today's CAD library that even if you are building a standard SMT library part, the process may take you 30 - 45 minutes per part. With the LP Wizard, it just takes a few minutes with greater precision!
The IPC-7351A Wizard is a fantastic time saver that builds your CAD library parts with unbelievable precision that dramatically reduces risk of human error.

The IPC-7351A LP Wizard Suite is a powerful librarian maintenance tool that will allow you to define your own CAD land patterns by the use of IPC and industry-approved mathematical algorithms and component orientations to calculate footprint (land pattern) dimension data from any manufacturer's component dimensional data. Build standard SMT library parts in just minutes! Automatically build your own CAD library decals in the native CAD format that are based on the IPC-7351A standard! Simply use the default IPC settings, or easily configure the LP Wizard to your required manufacturing tolerances that determine the pad size, placement, pad width round-off, component tolerance, land pattern name, and the solder joint analysis.
The LP Wizard Suite is included with both PCB Libraries for all layout tools. This tool suite will augment the way you work, allowing you to quickly and easily browse your PCB footprint library to locate, view, construct and verify the mechanics of your PCB library design.
Flexibility & Effectiveness
This software will provide you with the flexibility and control you will need to create BGAs and to control individual pins, which is very important because long gone are the days when BGAs have Simple Square shaped voids or pin groups. Today BGAs come in a variety of designs, which our software gives you extensive flexibility and control. For example, when creating complex ball grid arrays (BGAs), the software gives you the ability to control individual pins. You can add or remove individual pins as well as ranges of pins-in any combination.
Component Library Management System
The library documentation edit feature can be used to create libraries from scratch, modify individual attribute names and change IPC-7351A LP software-generated values based on your unique project needs. This feature provides unprecedented flexibility in library management as you can now completely control what component data is stored in individual data files.

With the ability to group all parts of a project together in one data file, you can effortlessly keep your projects organized. It can also save engineers time because now they do not have to sort through numerous data files to find all the parts of a given project. Simply group the parts created for any project into a single data file, and share it with engineers. The data files can be browsed with our completely free IPC-7351A LP Viewer by your customer or anyone in your company!

What about the LP Calculator?
Like nearly everything else, there are alternatives. However, this software stands far above other very risky other calculators and land pattern generators available.

The first and most important reason is that we alone did not determine how the outputs are generated. Instead, we worked with IPC as the IPC-7351A standard was developed to ensure the output of this software would comply with the new standard and be accepted by the industry. Unlike alternatives, this software was produced from the ground up based entirely on the IPC-7351A. This means our software does not build parts to our standard, but the industry-accepted IPC-7351A.
The LP Calculator allows you to design PCB footprints by simply entering the manufacturer's component data; you can see the results of your design immediately in the viewer window and evaluate solder joint analysis.IPC-7351A.
With the calculator you can define your own CAD footprints if the correct CAD library part is not already available, and export to your CAD tool; it automatically builds CAD library decals in their native CAD format. You can change the manufacturing tolerances that determine the pad size, placement courtyard tolerance, PAD width round-off, component tolerance, footprint name, and the solder joint analysis. Alternatively, you can simply use the default IPC settings. This product provides the "Pick & Place" with the zero component rotation for accurate assembly data. The JEDEC JEP95 publication and the EIA / ANSI 481 specification for tape and reel packaging was used to determine the exact component zero rotation on the assembly tape and reel or tube. You can build all your CAD library parts in the same zero rotation and provide your vendors with accurate assembly data.
