	Is possible to create arbitrary body shapes with the package designer?

	Arbitary body shapes are not available in the first release. We need the users to provide feedback. Example: The first new feature should be to make any corner a chamfer or a radius of a specific value. You could chamfer two corners and radius the other 2 corners or whatever combination you want. We need the users to make recommentations for improvements.

	The issues that I saw when I played with the LITE version of 2013 on Windows XP have disappeared here too. I think that I've persueded IT here to give me an upgrade to Win 7 as well - at least they've scheduled it for two weeks time.

	Would be nice if I could renumber pins at will? or am i approaching this totally wrong? i would have expected the pin properties to be editable, at least for the pin name, so I could re-number.

	Another one, I know its Elementary Dear Watson, but it seems strange to me that the GUI, For Height, Length, and Width is not backed up with a graphic, Just like all your package types.

	I made it so easy (I thought) to add pins with automatic ordering I didn't think renumbering would be an issue. But if it is I'll revisit the subject. I like your graphic suggestion, thanks.
