Tutorial on adding part from SnapEDA to Altium Designer
Hey guys,
Trying my first SnapEDA part. I tried looking for a tutorial on here and the Youtube channel. I am having difficulty adding the component to my Altium Designer schematic.
My part is a Vishay 4n35 octocoupler.
thanks :)

Using AD15.1
I see CircuitMaker, Eagle and 3 OrCADS but no PCAD.
I can show you a screenshot of what I am seeing. Thanks Natasha

Interesting. This doc says that V15.1 should support PCAD: http://www.altium.com/files/pdfs/altium-designer-feature-set-summary.pdf
If you could send a screenshot that would be helpful ([email protected]).
Did you try downloading and importing the Eagle file?

Yes! Responded via email. I asked whether you had tried downloading and importing the Eagle file, as it seems the latest version has removed PCAD support.

Hi Laniko!
Here are the instructions for importing into Altium.
1. Select File > Import Wizard
2. Select PCAD library from the list and click Next
3. Click Next again to skip importing a design
4. The next dialog will be to import a PCAD library. Add the file downloaded from SnapEDA and follow the rest of the prompts.
Let me know how it goes. If you still have trouble, let us know the version you're using and we can investigate further.
