import utilboard footprint into multisim

[rossu]

I want to import the TRIM-3296W footprint from Utilboard into MultiSim so that when I export my circuit to utilboard the pot (and resistors, etc. get transferred. How do I do this?  Let me add that the fact that you have to manually apply footprints to every resistor, cap, pot, etc in a circuit to allow it to be transferred to utilboard makes Multisim virtually useless as prototyping software! The situation isn't helped when you can't even access most of the footprints in Utilboard

Hello,

If you select a component in Ultiboard, then go to Tools » Database » Add selection to database, if you go to Multisim and place down your component, then go to it's properties and select the footprint from Database... under the User Database, you should find the footprint that you created in Ultiboard.
