Re: gEDA-user: Complex footprint creation

[Kipton Moravec <kip@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When I have to do Domes, I put square pads there the four dome feet
touch and hook them together with traces. leaving one side open for the
center pad trace to come out.

It is not what you asked, but that is how I do it.
