AamirZ

Hi every one

I have routed PCB board  .brd file (no schematic). I want to edit some components footprint like capacitor and diode place on the board have no polarity. Any body have knowledge about the procedure to edit the already placed and routed footprints.

 Regards

  • I'm unsure why it should be any different than placing the D2PAK. Nonetheless...

    Dawn proposes a simple solution (though I can't vouch for its success because I've never done it).

    If it were me, I'd delete U29, place a TO263 then go to the toolbar within PCB Designer to "Logic > Assign RefDes", specify U29 in the options panel and left click on the new TO263 package.
