I'm a big fan of "drawing" my footprints with either a text editor or a python script. It's been a while since I last did this, and I know that pcb keeps changing. Is the documentation at http://pcb.sourceforge.net/pcb-20070208/pcb.html correct for the 20070208 snapshot? (Or is there any compelling reason to us the CVS version?)
Second question: if I want to draw a dot on the silk layer (i.e., a filled-in circle), am I to use the ElementArc command with x,y at the center, thickness equal to the desired radius, a width and height equal to half the radius, and a delta angle of 360? (Or is that angle in radians?) And lastly, what is the "best practice" on placing the mark and element text? Seems to me that the mark should either be in the center of the element body or centered on pin/pad 1. I've always just left the text at the origin and moved/rotated it during layout.
