From my own experience: with no TQFP-80 footprint in any library (as far
as I can see), and no experience with making SMD footprints, typing a
request and geting the perfect answer the next morning surely beats
spending a few hours creating the footprint myself, only to discover
later (after the PCB has been made) that I slightly miscalculated the
pin-to-pin distance, so the 20'th pin actually overlays the 19'th.
