Hi all I use some modules in my schematic. for example: esp8266-01, i2c lcd and ds1307 rtc modules. when i wanna make a pcb, it says no footprints for these. i thought of 2 ways to solve the problem 1. creating footprints for them. don't know how? 2. putting headers instead of modules. but the problem is that pcb-tool doesn't know dimensions of the modules what should i do? thanks in advance

New component search tool: Press SHIFT+F in the schematic or PCB canvas. This opens: ![enter image description here][1] Click `More` then click `Add Favorite`: ![enter image description here][2] This adds the part to you Favorites and it will then be seen by the schematic to PCB conversion process next time to press the `Convert to PCB...` button.

You can create your own schematic symbols and PCB footprints from scratch or you can find something similar then edit it to what you want then save it: https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/creatingtheSchematicLibs.htm#Creating-the-Schematic-Libs https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/PCBLib.htm#Creating-The-PCB-Libs

Please also add supplier and supplier part numbers, manufacturer's part numbers and links to datasheets etc. to fully document the part (most important for schematic symbols but useful for PCB footprints too). Please also see: https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/new-v-3.10.htm

Thanks Abdolhamednik, Developing a project that *everybody* wants to build and so *everybody* wants to buy *millions* of PCBs from EasyEDA would be awesome. But seriously, contributing well documented symbols, packages, projects or help with documentation or even just share your experiences on the forums in EasyEDA that would be more than enough! :)
