Why does the website wouldn't allow users to self create part symbol and footprint?

2

For some parts without symbol or footprint, the users can create themselves.
But for other parts, there is no such option and must "request symbol" which often takes weeks, if the symbol is created at all.
Why not make the option of user created symbols for all parts?

Hello there zguo!

Thank you for reaching out to us. Currently, our InstaBuild can be used for parts with verified footprints only. We are aiming to make both symbol and footprint available for all of the parts in our library. I think it's also a great idea to allow our users to create their own symbol and footprint using our InstaBuild!

I will add this to our features board and we'll get back to you soon so please stay tuned.

Thanks,
John
