Re-centering the anchor of a footprint ???

David Slipper All Messages By This Member #23534 I had a need to move the default anchor position of a footprint, but I would now like to restore it's position. Is there a way to move the anchor back to it's original position (other than to guess it by eye) ??? Thanks in advance, Dave
Jorge Ferreira All Messages By This Member #23536 Hi I would simply download it from the official repository. Next time you need to personalize a footprint, do it on copy in a library of your own, instead of changing the original one.

I am not sure anyway because I changed a lot of the standard hotheys to my own. toggle quoted message Show quoted text El mié., nov. 16, 2022 a 21:37, Jorge Ferreira <jorgef.tech@...> 别蝉肠谤颈产颈ó: Hi I would simply download it from the official repository.

There is no memory of its original position, only its current position. You can place the anchor anywhere you like using Place-> Place the Footprint Anchor in the footprint editor. If you know where you want the anchor, simply draw a line from the current anchor location (or any other location) and then press E to edit its properties, and enter the location of the endpoint of the line using the X and Y coordinates. Now you have an endpoint where you want the new anchor point to be. Place the anchor at the end of the new line, then delete the line you just added.? HTH
