Re: gEDA-user: Fluky Fluky layout printing problem!

[Rob Butts <r.butts2@xxxxxxxxx>]

   I would say that assuming the placement isn't critical, the easiest way
   is to delete the existing footprint (the one you want to change) from
   the board, save, then re-run gsch2pcb or whatever import process you
   use.



   Ah, so that will do it.  I was trying to do it without having to re-lay
   the board out again.



   Thanks, I'll try it!

     If you wish to edit the mask clearance from _within_ PCB, you need
     to
     have the solder mask layer visible first.
     k and shift+k should modify it for a given pin / via.
     This will save in the layout file, not the footprint, and needs to
     be
     adjusted for each pad you want to change, in each instance of the
     footprint.
     What DJ suggested was that you edit your footprint file directly I
     believe. I don't know why you need to rename the file (other than
     for a
     backup)
     Once you've edited the file, you need to cause it to be replaced on
     the
     board. Without knowing what workflow you're using (xgsch2pcb /
     gsch2pcb / Import from within PCB), I don't know what the best way
     to
     suggest is.
