Not exactly, no, but that's the closest substitution. > (1) Is the SMD package "metric name" commonly used or standardized? I think that's more of a personal choice than anything else. We're used to the imperial sizes, but the standards are all in metric. > (2) Do you have any experience using the RESC1608M/N/L footprints for > SMD resistors and ceramic chip capacitors? Yes, I've done that. The cap ones are bigger because caps have more metal on them. However, at the moment I have a custom footprint that accepts either 0603 or 0805, with enough gap to pass a trace with 8/8 rules. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
