The free reader is a lite version of Ultra Librarian specifically designed to import vendor neutral CAD data (.bxl files) from manufacturers’ websites and then export symbols, footprints, and 3D models to specific CAD tool formats. The reader is a read-only tool and will not allow users to make any changes to the data. For symbols, footprints, and 3D model creation capabilities, use one of the Ultra Librarian Desktop Software options.
Many of our IC partners offer BXL files for their components directly on their websites. Once you have obtained a BXL file it is quick and easy to convert to your preferred CAD format through our online BXL conversion tool.
