Footprint EDIT

jatins

Hi 

I have a QFN footprint which i want to edit it to another footprint with a little bit different pad sizes.

My question is if i edit this available footprint according to my needs and save it as 'Save as' footprint and provide the necessary pad files to it.

Do i need to make a new .psm file for this new footprint or it will generate automatically. If it needs to be done manually, what would be the 

best option to do it?

Thanks

  • Provided there wasn't an error (for me:  usually a missing refdes), *.psm automatically generates when you save the *.dra file.

    If you just need to make the psm and don't want to update the time-date stamp on the *.dra file, >FILE >CREATE SYMBOL

    In case you get stuck loading that symbol back into the board, double check your file paths.   >Setup >User Preferences then Paths.
