I was playing with strategies for escaping the pin grid on this part (the board I'm connecting to uses a different brand of this style connector which has the odd/even alternation inside out, so all the signal pins are "inside" on the Molex version). I noticed that the Mark for this part does not fall on a nice offset from the pins, so it is impossible to move the part so that the pins fall on the grid without going off-grid with the Mark. Is this to meet a pick & place requirement that was in the datasheet, or is the Mark arbitrary? -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ben.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
