I totally agree with this. Currently, drawing footprints using PCB is very difficult, and is non-standard to boot. Better would be to allow the user to drop to a footprint editing mode via a menu option (or right mouse button click), like gschem allows for symbols. > It exists already, right? Read the PCB-tips and you'll see. I take it you mean that emacs is your footprint editor? Yes, I also use emacs and Perl (and John Luciani's website) as tools for creating footprints. However, newbies expect something a little more user-friendly. In any event, since the footprints are stored in ASCII, then we can always use emacs and Perl on them, whether there is a GUI footprint editor or not. Stuart
