Exporting/saving footprints from brd file

archive
archive over 16 years ago

 Hi,

 

I lost a few custom footprints with a hard drive crash and need to re-create them.  I would like to grab the footprints from the brd file where they exist and make new dra and bsm files for future use.  I think I read that I can do this.  Does anybody know how?

    Thanks,

    That was way too easy. I couldn't find that answer in the help or by
    googling.
