In reality footprints are defined by the actual edge of the pad, not by the endpoints of an imaginary line W/2 units from the end of the pad (âendâ depending on the dimension having greatest length...). I'd really like to be able to SWIM: Say What I Mean. Nobody actually cares where these imaginary pad line endpoints are, but we are required to specify them nonetheless. Regards, Colin
