I apologize for my ignorance, I still do not know what to do I changed all 
dash to underscore as suggested, but still no good, as I had pointed out
none of my footprint use the same name as in m4.  Which part you think
may be in conflict with m4 parts, the footprint or the sym parts?
I would love to disable or delete entirely the m4 parts, but how do I
do? I put the line "use-file" in the project file, in the tutorial is
mention of that, but did I place in correctly?
Please help I need to get this job out, and I am stuck nothing seem to
go alright.
Thank you in advance, Vinny.
