Re-centering the anchor of a footprint ???


 

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


 

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.

Hi,?
try G instead if D. It may drag the segment. I am not sure anyway because I changed a lot of the standard hotheys to my own.

This is on my own device foot print, not a library one.

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.?
