I am designing a couple of boards (if successful more than 2) that have the same form factor. That is they are the same physical size and both (all) have fingers to plug into a card slot on a mother board. So I don't have to worry about registration of the fingers each time I come up with a

Create the PCB with the connector element pre-placed, using the grid and crosshairs to move it to the right position. Save that file. For each board you do, copy that file to the new *.pcb name and start editing... ___ geda-user mailing list

My SQFP-50P-1480L1-1480L2-80N looks like it could work (see http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/pcb-footprint-list.html). Double-check the dimensions against your component and process specs. (* jcl *) -- Closed Tools + Open Files != Open Hardware You can't create open hardware with closed EDA
