gEDA-user: Pin 1 placement in footprint

[Tamas Szabo <sza2king@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just checked the footprint in newlib and found that in lot of the 
cases pin 1 of a part is placed to (0,0).

Is there any drawback if I put it somewhere else due to make the 
calculation easier?

I mean, for example, selecting one corner of the outline of a module 
built on a small pcb (like GPS-, BT-modules) or connectors, etc., since 
all unit are measured from that point?

Thx,

/sza2
