The typical sequence for manually creating a component footprint is:

Once again, the datasheet should give you a recommended PCB layout. Do you already have a switch? Do you have any information on it? If not, I suggest picking out a different switch, one for which you have info. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll find the recommended PCB layout.Īs for the 4-pin push button, you do not give enough information. The datasheet can be found by googling the part number ( ). The HLS8l-DC12V-SC relay is made by He Li Shun. You can find the footprints in the datasheet. There are plenty of tutorials out there that walk you through the process (here is one: ).

Having someone do it for you will get you absolutely nowhere. It is one of the most common things you'll need to do (I am speaking from experience here). If you're going to use Altium, I very highly recommend learning how to make your own libraries.
