easy enough, I would think, to copy the footprint field into the comment or
designator field using the spreadsheet. Intuitively, I would suggest the
comment field. Designators get used for other things and sometimes unused
areas of the program are better left unexplored....
one could also do the same thing with an off-line batch utility processing
the ASCII database....
