Do you just break off or bend any mounting tabs that are not round?
I just use round holes for them. Example: http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/dj_delorie/footprints/connector/hfj11-2450e.fp Companies like 4pcb can mill them if you have a separate gerber for milled slots. However, you have to negotiate the costs with them; it's not included in any of the "prototype" deals. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
