With regards to datasheets, I thought they were more for linking to patterns? All the 3D models I have created are generic anyway (suit a number of manufacturers). It’s a pain at first, but pretty soon you have a user library full of common parts that you use regularly. Schematic designs based on both parts provided with the software and custom parts created by the user. I also like to make my own patterns in DipTrace, again also to aid in learning. I’ve made all the lead lengths 2mm, except for some components that I like to sit 1mm above the board and have made the lead lengths 3mm (resistors, diodes etc). I found also that some of the 3D models do not have consistent lead lengths, so whilst you can adjust the height that a component sits on the board, this can also mean that when you flip the board the leads are not all the same length. I’m slowly getting the hang of it, and it will get me ready for modelling N scale railway items when I get my An圜ubic Photon printer. Whilst I was aware that DipTrace came with a 3D library (which I have downloaded and installed), I prefer to make my own models to assist in learning Fusion 360.
