Re: [PEDA] Place footprint
Dom In the component properties change type from 'Standard' to 'Graphical'. This will prevent it from being removed but it allso prevents it from appearing in your pick and place files.

Re: [PEDA] Place footprint
Dom, Other than what is already mentioned, I believe there still remains more options. Two quick albeit possibly dangerous ways are both in the Options for PCB Project window. The Comparator tab can be set to Ignore Differences for Extra Components. Or, the ECO Generation tab can be set to Ignore Differences for Remove Components. Cheers!

Re: [PEDA] Place footprint
Thanks Andrew; as I tried to describe in the original question, I didn't want to have to do a blanket IgnoreDifferences in the ECO gen. I just tried the previously suggested change to graphical it seems to work well!
