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.

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