While Sprint-Layout 6.0 comes with a decent stock library of standard components (DIP, SMD, transistors, resistors), modern electronics rely on specialized hardware.
When migrating Sprint Layout to a new PC, you can easily bring all your macros along:

While Sprint-Layout 6.0 includes a standard library, it lacks many modern surface-mount technology (SMT) components and specialized connectors. Fortunately, the global DIY electronics community has created massive, free macro libraries. 1. Official and Built-in Libraries
“The Sprint Layout program is very simple and will not require much time for development, but allows you to make high quality PCBs.” — PDFASO (portable sprint layout) While Sprint-Layout 6
If a component isn't in your library, you can easily build your own:
| Mistake | Consequence | Fix | |---------|-------------|-----| | Forgetting to include all pads | Missing connections in PCB | Double-check before exporting | | Using absolute coordinates | Macro inserts far away from cursor | Create it near (0,0) | | Not saving grid settings | Misaligned components | Set grid before designing macro | | Mixing layers incorrectly | Shorts or missing traces | Stick to copper (Layer 16/18) and silk (21/23) | While this organised approach works well, it can
Each of these folders contains dozens of further subfolders (e.g., “SMD – LC”, “USE – Div”), and inside those you will find individual macro files. While this organised approach works well, it can become cumbersome when you use a small set of components repeatedly.
