Dwight, Mr. Lomax pointed out and unless there is something wrong with my intsallation, it does respect a footprint in each symbol however ONLY the first and not any alternates that may be listed. If you have a symbol with more than one footprint listed try update footprints and see what ends up on your board. Every time I have tried this it replaces what was there and puts the first one back on the board. Thanks Bob Robert M. Wolfe, C.I.D.
