Does the net list really require the footprints? Or is that when it tries to insert them?
If you mean of netlist file, definitely footprints were there from the beginning of the world EDA/PCB. It's core information which element's pad belongs to. On the other hand, is not very apt programming assumption that the Internet/network connection and is the primary function of the operating system and all remote(local too) services are always present… Ussually most of programmers schools tels that some smart timeout routine need to be implemented and message displayed to user. -- Best Regards, LordBlick
