Why is the Instabuild Option not available for all Parts ?
A Component i need a Symbol/Footprint for is not available thus i wanted to use the Instabuild Tool to create the CAD Symbols not only as its very convinient but also since i would have the symbol available for Kicad and Eagle without creating it manually in both CAD tools. I was wondering how to Start the build tool and after watching the inroduction Video i noticed that the option is not available for the component i need even though there is already entry for it but only the datasheet is available. I can launch instabuild from the example Parts but there is no way to change it to another component. Why is instabuild not available for every Component or is there something i overlooked ?

Hello there,
Thanks for reaching us. Whenever a part page has a verified footprint available, it will show the InstaBuild option.
This option currently covers most ICs, but some aren't still available and the team is working to expand this option for more parts.
We will reach back to you once we have an update on this.
Have a great day!

If there is a verified footprint available why would we need to instabuild (except for symbol i guess) most parts without footprint, and some with mistaken footprint, dont allow instabuild footprint.
