Is UL available for GNU/Linux?
Sounds interesting. If you need help. let me know. I love to give comments on how things might be improved 
I don’t have UL yet though…
Hey guys!
Sorry for the late reply… Sorry but UL is currently only available for windows Alexander.
Will definitely be in contact with you as well Frits!
@ChrisGammell and everybody else.
I just found Ultra Librarian tool for effortlessly creating footprints for Kicad!
I can’t believe I did not find this before!!
It allows you to upload .bxl files that TI provides for most of its chips here: https://webench.ti.com/cad/
And it also allows you to search its database of parts and then simply choose the part you need and then it downloads the footprint, symbol, and 3D size file if it’s available! All for FREE.
See the screen shots below for the work flow.
This tool just saved me so much time!!!
I hope this helps somebody else save tons of time!
Thanks so much for the positive feed back!!! Are there any features you find that can be improved upon? Especially with the kicad add on!!
Sweet! Glad that support for the Ultra Librarian is right here on the forum 
So far no complaints other than some of the parts I’m looking for are not in your database, but that’s to be expected.
I left KiCad awhile back when all the updates were breaking old projects, and I tried Upverter along with their footprint creation service. Upverters part creation service was nice, but it took weeks to get anything back most of the time and now it looks like their support and updates are nonexistant.
I’m back to using Kicad now and it feels like with your software I also have the part creation service also since I have been able to find the footprints for almost all the chips I’m using which is so nice to see.
I have not tried loading the footprints into Kicad yet so I can’t comment on if there are any problems there yet. I do not expect any problems.
I’m trying to find a footprint for this two channel SO-8 FET but was not able to come up with anything in your database.
Should have been able to find it but didn’t search correctly?
Interesting.
I wonder what release they added ki-Cad ?
The older 6.xx I have installed here, did not show KiCad, so it is a recent addition.
Self made… you didn’t follow us the last couple months, did you?
Hi,
Thanks for your inputs.
Installed Ultra Librarian today from TI CAD web page. Same version 8.1.24. But it is no more free.
Now, one cannot make export to almost any CAD tool, including KiCAD as well.
I checked out the part and yea we have a pretty hugh library but that’s
more of a costume part that we usually get special orders for. Although we
are constantly building parts and updating the database there are still
those that we sometimes “overlook” for convenience of time while making
large libraries. We do constantly add new parts to the database so
hopefully you find the bulk of what you’re looking for if not all of what
you’re looking for.
@D_Jones I have found 90% of the parts I am using in your database so far which is GREAT!
Now I have hit a temporary download limit, see below:
Does this mean I have to pay before I can download any more parts?
Thanks, no I have not been on the forum for a while. I just started with the latest Kicad last week.
I want to say we have a daily limit of downloads set to 5 parts without a
subscription/license. The person responsible for that is currently out of
the office. I can see what we can do about you getting some upgraded
abilities since you are assisting with the KiCAD testing.
@D_Jones That would be awesome.
Your tool should be brought to the attention of everybody using Kicad since it is such a time saver.
Could you tell me why my installation of Ultra Librarian (WinXP32) do not allow export with Free Reader?
I used UL before and have older versions which still work and can export .bxl to many CAD tools. Now, I wanted to test KiCAD export option. But version 8.1.24, downloaded from TI web page does not allow me to do that. See my previous post above. On the long list of CAD tools all are grayed out except one Cadence and one Mentor tool.
@pssivv Did you delete the older version before installing the new version? It says deleting the old version is requried.
So glad that you are enjoying the tool and we strive to make it even
better!! I’ll definitely see what we can do about getting you a license!!
@pssivv I’d try updating your software. I believe the current version is
8.1.174. This may solve any issues that you are currently experiencing.
