PCB Footprint Batch Update (V3 Only)

An extension specifically for EasyEDA Professional V3. Not compatible with V2.

Features

• Manual Update: Select a library, batch match PCB components by Designator/Name/Footprint/Component attributes and update footprints
• Footprint Rebinding: Select a team library, search for same-name footprints and bound devices, replace all PCB components (preserving designator/attributes/pad nets)
• Batch Automation: Select a team and folder, automatically open projects one by one → update PCB footprints → save → close
• Supports both TOP and BOTTOM layer components
• Automatically updates project library device bindings (symbol, footprint, 3D model) during update
• Supports searching and setting 3D models from system or team libraries

Usage

Menu → PCB → PCB Footprint Update... / PCB Footprint Rebinding...

PCB Footprint Rebinding

Used to rebind components in the current PCB to same-name footprints and their associated devices in a specified team library. Ideal for scenarios where team library devices have been organized, but PCB components in the project are still bound to old, temporary, or incorrect libraries (available in editor V3.2.149+).

1. Open the PCB to process.
2. Navigate to PCB → PCB Footprint Update → PCB Footprint Rebinding... via the menu.
3. Select the target team library in the dialog.
4. Click Start Update. The extension will iterate through all components in the current PCB and perform rebinding by footprint name.

Execution rules:

• Uses the current PCB component's footprint name as the baseline, performing exact search for same-name footprints in the selected team library.
• Once a same-name footprint is found, continues searching for team library devices bound to that footprint, and uses that device to replace the PCB component.
• During replacement, the original component's designator, name, position, rotation, lock state, designator coordinates, and pad nets are preserved.
• Same-name footprint search results are cached to avoid duplicate queries.
• After rebinding completes, 3D model properties of associated library devices are uniformly refreshed.
• If a component's same-name footprint or bound device is not found, it is marked as failed in the result details without affecting other components.

Notes

• It is recommended to backup your project before performing operations
• Batch mode will open and modify PCBs of all projects under the team one by one. Please ensure sufficient permissions
• Footprint rebinding relies on exact footprint name matching. Please confirm that same-name footprints exist in the target team library before execution
