I thought of that, and hoped for something better. I have four footprints that would have to get hacked up like that. Right now the exposed pad has a name, e.g., pin 57 on a 56-pin package. What name and number should I give the 11 new pads? I hope I don't have to show them on the schematic. - Larry _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
