Yes, with cvpcb for the added libraries > 2) Secondly while creating a new foorprint module, for throughole > pads is there no option for specifying the clearance on the plane > layers??

I think it is not possible for a module but for all the design. In pcbnew Dimensions->Tracks and via sizes > 3) In PCBNEW what is the option for specifying different spacing > between PAD TO TRACE, PAD TO PAD, TRACE TO VIA, TRACE TO TRACE, PAD > TO VIA etc etc ??? dimensions->Tracks and via sizes (again). I think there is only one distance from "something" to "someting_else" but zone to anything_else which can be set on making the zone. Regards, Pedro. > > Please reply > thanks > > freeda
