Thanks for this, and that's a great idea.

Because there is no common format that all electronics CAD vendors support, we have created our own. We then export to the various PCB design software formats.

Here's an example of how we've worked with Vishay to make the symbols, footprints, and 3D models available in one place: https://www.snapeda.com/parts/SFH6319T/Vishay/view-part/. Please stay tuned for simulation models!

The format problem has been around ever since schematic design moved into the digital world. Surprise that nothing has even come close to a standard. Getting the IC manufacturer's support on your creation is a great step in the right direction. Does your symbols have the right attributes for the CAD tools do design rule checks and validation?

Hi yitchelle, as part of our creation standards, all of our symbols contain the right attributes for DRC checks. If you're interested, you can read our standards here: https://www.snapeda.com/standards/.
