editing existing footprint libraries

DougT

Hi, Is there a way to change existing footprint files in Layout Plus?  Ie for a TM_RAD part, could I edit the size of the drill hole/lead spacing to be more similar to my actual part?   I tried to go into the spreadsheet, but it doesn't seem to allow me to do so.

    You probably need to set the user preference to allow editing of footprints in the design before you can modfiy the spreadsheet.

    To modify the library itself, you need to use the Library Manager from the LSession window, probably creating a new part with the amended parameters.
