Generic potentiometer footprint

[jford]

I’m trying to add a generic potentiometer to a schematic. There are no footprint options in the component (the only option is ‘none’). Is there a way to add a footprint to a generic component? Most of the potentiometers in the system seem very specific and it’s hard to tell which is relevant to the part I’m trying to use, hence using a generic part.

I’m trying to create this: http://www.alphapotentiometers.net/html/16mm_pot_2.html

Hi,

The reason there is not a generic potentiometer footprint is that we are not confident that it would be correct in most cases. But we are happy to make you a potentiometer that meets your needs and add it to the library.
