My library of footprints at gedasymbols contains a few aluminum boxes by Hammond. I derived them from the STEP models with this tool chain: 1) import STEP to varicad. 2) make a 2D view and export to PDF 3) convert the PDF to EPS with pdftops 4) convert the EPS to *.pcb with pstoedit 5) import to pcb with file->import_layout_to_buffer 6) move the tracks done by pstoedit to the silk layer 7) copy the lines to buffer 8) selection->convert_buffer_to_element 9) paste the buffer on the canvas 10) Add a name to the footprint: move the mouse over the footprint, type "n" 11) file_save_as 12) use an awk script to * set the width of silk lines to my preferred value * set name, value and description all to the same string * extract the footprint to a *.fp file These steps can of course also be done manually. But I find the awk script quite convenient. ---<)kaimartin(>---
