Use Package Library along with Component Detection Wizard:
1. Build Component and Package Library:
Whenever using Build Component (menu: Assembly | Build Component...) to create your components from Gerber, there is an option to add the component details to a Package Library file.
Note: For best results with Package Library management, try to avoid having one super large Package Library file. Instead keep the Package Library files smaller by either:
PCB Type (PCB's using similar groups of components).
Or anything else that helps describe and group associated component packages.
2. Use Component Wizard to Save time:
After you have performed Build Components enough times you will start to build a library of footprints. This library can be used to automate the Build Components process with command: Components Detection Wizard (see menu: Assembly / Components Detection Wizard...). Whenever opening another Job or workspace with similar components use Component detection Wizard.
Make sure to select one or more Package Library(s), to use during Components Detection Wizard.
Verify rotations after using Component Wizard for polarized components to ensure correctness.
