Like this. http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/package/SOT402-1.html Download http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat/packages/footprint/FOOTPRINT-SSOP-TSSOP-VSO-REFLOW.pdf Run pstotext on FOOTPRINT-SSOP-TSSOP-VSO-REFLOW.pdf ~/cad/syminfo$ pstotext FOOTPRINT-SSOP-TSSOP-VSO-REFLOW.pdf > ssop.txt Then i did macro script in emacs then later in OpenOfice on ssop.txt. To make tabell, then cut and paste in Gnumeric. And now ther is matematic problam to solve. I hawe a drawing in FOOTPRINT-SSOP-TSSOP-VSO-REFLOW.pdf PACKAGE NAME PHILIPS OUTLINE CODE N P A B C D1 SSOP14 SOT337�1 14 0,65 8,1 5,7 1,2 0,4 And pcb_landpattern_design.pdf And other docs on PCB format. When this work i hope i can put it to pure script. Script has to be changed to difrent drawings. // Sten > > JG > > ====================== > I am working on conversion program/script to generate footprints from > data.pdf automatically. > To generate all footprints. > > Cheers > // Sten Bj�rnebro > -- > John Griessen Cibolo Design Austin Texas linux counter #249315
