Hi!

I've used PCB on and off for lots of years, and used gschem for much
fewer years. Has some quirks, but especially the last years the
development is amazing.

I've now made a TO263 footprint with a T-shaped pad for the tab, but
I'm not sure that I've gotten it really right, because my (old) PCB
version sometimes renders the two parts of the pad with a (small) gap
between them.

Please review the attached footprint. How to do it right? Or am I
worrying for nothing, and output will always have pads coalesced?


//Peter
