Dear all,

One question on pcbnew, don't know whether there are simple way to 
achieve.

For instance I defined footprint of several resistors as "R3" and 
completed the PCB layout.  After that I found there is another R3-
LARGE_PADS which is better.  Is there a simple way to substitute the 
orginal footprint with the newer one?  I tried redefining the 
netlist in cvpcb, but when pcbnew reads the altered netlist it 
complaints the differences in footprint.  I have to:

1. Delete the original modules;
2. Read in the new netlist and replace the new modules;
3. Re-route the traces to substituted components

If anyone have experience on this please kindly advise.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick
