I have a DXP footprint that I need to modify. Its is DIODE SMC contained in Miscellaneous Devices.IntLib. The original part uses a 5 mil line for the outline on the silkscreen layer. My board house's Design for Manufacture test balks at this Wanting 7 mils or greater. I tried copying this part into my project library, increasing the line width, saving it as a new footprint, and reassigning the Footprint in the PCB editor. I got a "unable to match parts to footprint" error. Can anyone give me a clear path, or link to a tutorial or any other useful information on how to manipulate components in DXP? I have been using ProTel since "98" and I swear that every time I have tried to work with Protel's library editors I have taken a different unique path with new and wonderful inconsistencies, bugs and other disasters. I would love to discover a standard, reliable method for managing components. I'm dreaming, right?
Any help greatly appreciated.
