Hello,

I'm been generating Kicad footprints for about a year.  However, I was listening to your user manual videos and saw that you referenced a couple of option files in one of those videos that relate to Kicad (KiCad.opt and KiCad_Translate_.opt).  Do I need to do something with those option files before generating Kicad footprints?  I see that the "KiCad_Translate_.opt" is automatically listed in the dialog that pops up when I select "Build Footprint".  Does that mean I don't need to do anything with that option file?  What about the "KiCad.opt" file?  Do I need to load that manually? 

Thank you!
