  • EPW Quick Start Guide
    ECAD Part Wizard (EPW) Quick Start Guide The ECAD Part Wizard has been developed by RS Components and SamacSys to provide a range of highly accurate ECAD models, offering schematic symbol and PCB footprint information for electronic components. The ECAD Part Wizard (EPW) gives engineers full control of the symbol fracturing and symbol pin positions (left, right, top, bottom). ECAD Symbols & footprints can be downloaded directly from within the EPW application or from manufacturer and RS Component websites around the world. These .epw files are then loaded into the ECAD Part Wizard. If the model you require is not yet available you may request it from within EPW and it will be created for you, free of charge. The ECAD Part Wizard is available free of charge, look out for the EPW icon: Having fractured the symbol and placed the pins as required models may be exported from EPW to any of the supported ECAD tool formats: Developed by: Downloading the EPW Application You will need EXCEL 2007 or Newer to run the ECAD Part Wizard The ECAD Part Wizard application does not require special permissions to install. Microsoft Excel 2007 (or later) must be installed on your PC for EPW to run. The download file has a “.ex_” extension as some web browsers do not allow a “.exe” to download. The ECAD Part Wizard application may be downloaded by clicking on the following link: Please: CLICK HERE If you cannot access the download file please email us at [email protected] and we will send you a copy (2Mb).
