I usually use the footprint CON_TP__Vector_K24 which is for a Vector K24 pin. I also have footprints for the Keystone 5000, 5005 and 5010 test points. They are under the connector heading at http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/pcb-footprint-list.html (* jcl *) -- http://www.luciani.org _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
