Offset Outline or All Pins

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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.
