Hi,

Is it possible?   I just tried changing the "square" in the
attribute to "round", "rounded", "rounded-corner" and
several more attempts, but it always comes out as a
big semicircle on each side.

I would like one "quarter-circle" of reasonable radius
at each corner of the pad  (for example, if the pad has
smaller dimension = 10, then maybe something like
radius = 2).

I can hack into the footprint files and achieve this (though
I'm not sure that it will work perfectly well, what with
overlapping pads --- possible issues with clearances,
soldermask, etc.??)

Can it be done without the hacking?  (in any case,
without *much* hacking?)

Thanks,
Carlos
