scaling a footprint

Hi,

As per my understanding of your query:

If you want to move the pad locations of your symbol (.dra file) by +x% (i.e +10% for say) relative to the origin, you can do this by calculating new positions for each pad, adding 10% of their current x and y values to their existing positions.

For example, if a pad is at (0.05, 0.00):

[x = 0.05 + (0.05 \times 0.10) = 0.055

y = 0.00 + (0.00 \times 0.10) = 0.00 ]

This would give a new location of (0.055, 0.00).

Then, select all the pads (Find Filter: Pins), right-click, select Move, and enter the increments (e.g., ix 0.005 iy 0.00) in the command window.

I may be wrong—could you share more details or an example to clarify your requirement?

thank u for ur reply.

yes, ur understanding is correct

however, how would u do this if u need to move 300k pins on the symbol?

would u do move the pins one by one?
