I think stretching is not possible, but you can use PCB in "footprint mode" to modify footprints. There is a description available somewhere. Or create a new one, there are some tools available to support this. Have you looked at http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/pcb-footprint-list.html http://www.gedasymbols.org/ If you can not find it, you may post the dimensions, I will post the footprint... (give: pad diameter, drill diameter, pad separation center-center, datasheet uri if available, outer shape (diameter or rectangular dimensions...) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
