| I made a mistake and made a bunch of connectors with the pins centered about the outline. The outline needs to be offset +0.89mm from center. Is there a way to offset all of the pins down by that amount or the outlines up by that amount or must they be re-created? |

You either have to delete and re-insert or double click each pad and change the coordinate. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

| They aren't that complex ... almost a wash in time. |
