Tx for the tip Dwayne - I'll look at tomorrow. A note for anyone using Altium - Altium 16 has a major upgrade to their=20 footprint wizard, the "IPC compliant Footprint Wizard" (which has a=20 batch mode as well) can do 20+ different categories of chips and=20 passives and generates nice STEP models as well, pins and all, gone are=20 the simple dark grey extruded rectangle models. Enter dimensions from=20 the datasheet drawing and voila. Connectors, LEDs, etc.... I hope the pcblibraries.com can save me time=20 in the future, I've spent several days recently making parts... ug. Anyway tx again Dwayne!
