How did you doe his? With the accel key [k] ? I changed the clearance and mask values of the pad statements in the footprint file and re-named the file which is in my gaf/pcb-elements folder. I then followed DJ's suggestion copied below: Orange means a short circuit. An easier way to update if you're using the importer, is to View->Displayed Element Name->Description and change it, then re-import. It will replace the footprint while retaining all the other information and position.

If symbols change in the lib they change in the circuit, too. Footprints in PCB are a different beast. They are instatianted by gsch2pcb. The layout itself has no connection to the library. > Am I changing the footprint correctly? Did you see the mask grow or shrink when the solder mask layer is switched on? ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: [2]k...@familieknaak.de Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: [3]http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [4]geda-user@moria.seul.org [5]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user References 1. mailto:k...@lilalaser.de 2. mailto:k...@familieknaak.de 3. http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 4. mailto:geda-user@moria.seul.org 5. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
