So, you're suggesting that I use the standard SOT25 footprint that comes with pcb, and then somehow craft a gschem symbol that shows pin numbers consistent with the sn74lvc1g240 datasheet but binds properly to the standard footprint? I suppose one way to do that would be to put ordinary text where the pinnumber= value is usually displayed. Anyone have any other ideas? b.g. -- Bill Gatliff b...@billgatliff.com _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
