Thanks.

That basic shape can be done easy with sfg.rb, but some fine tuning is
necessary :-)

You used flag "nopaste" -- I have never seen that before, I should
mention it in my footprint ref summary. Maybe I should include a note
about overlapping pads/pins too...

You used the same NAME for overlapping/touching Pads/Flags.
I may be wrong, but I think the common recommendation is to use the same
PIN NUMBER! Number is for netlist, name is arbitrary, so I think my
memory is correct. But I am not absolutely sure, because in most cases I
make pin name and number the same.

Best regards

Stefan
