Certainly a feature like this wil

Rob,

Did anyone mention freecad? The footprint might be part of a 3D model :-)

IMHO, generators that proved to be useful should be bundled with PCB. This
also applies to plug-ins. If this bothers the devs, a seperate goodie

I have been thinking about such a footprint editor as well. I think
such a parametric sketcher is the way forward. At least it would make
drawing footprints much more fun! It might be possible to use code
from Sketchflat or pSketcher to obtain this functionality.

The tool is by no means complete... it's the result of just a few hours
work right now.
Thanks for sharing that, looks like python style of

Nice!
This is the way to go.
Get rid of grid based design, enter constrains and let the system fig

Hey all,
I've recently been playing around with designing footprints by
describing a set of constraints that position features relative to each
other. This is rather than specifying the absolute co-ordinates of
every feature.
I've written a small tool that allows this to be done. It pumps out a
