lovell,
I believe that the IPC libraries are available finally from Altium. The latest library updates included a folder called IPC in the PCB footprint/land pattern library folder.;which contains around 29 separate files.
If you look at the other CAD packages available, they are not much better. I have worked with Orcad Capture/Layout 10.5 and PADs Logic/Router 2005. I find Altium Designer far superior!
Maybe if I am bored I could put together a symbol / footprint association library. I wonder if the guys at Cypress would be interested in that or are willing to pay for all that hard work.. since I am a poor student
