There is an option to enter the manufacturer recommended footprint and override the LE footprint. It would be nice to be able to store the mfg recommended parametrics in the FPX and then check whether to use them or not. Currently, if you uncheck, it reverts those numbers back to the LE calculated pad geometries.

This is my #1 peeve with the program. Unchecking the box should not reset the values. When deciding if I want to use the recommended pattern or the calculated pattern, I like to toggle between the two. It's hard for me to think about how similar the two are just by looking at the numbers. If the recommended pattern is not significantly different, I will use the standard footprint to keep our total footprint count low.

I'm trying to understand how to implement this feature. I think you're saying this "Insert the component mfr. pattern data and it never goes away and instead of the checkbox turning the mfr. data on/off have the checkbox turn on/off to use mfr. or IPC" |
