Perhaps I didn't phrase my question correctly, or "eeyore" is exactly
what you are but whatever the reason you decided to flame me for is
total uncalled for.
I already have some board mounted pots that I can use for my
project, but there are no markings on the pots to tell me who the
manufacturer is or any other information that I could cross reference
to information on the internet. The pots in the library do not show
the pin spacing sizes. My question was how do the people of this
group determine what size of pot they are going to use. There are
several different pad layouts for pots. I thought the name of this
group was sci.electronics.basics not lets.make,fun.of other.people

Do you print out the pots and manually place
the pots on the page until you find the right size?

Can you wipe your own backside ? It's kinda the same thing.

Oh don't let it bother you, We have some rather ill mannered posters
here that don't think their shit stinks!. Most of them come from the
UK district!
I must disagree. Predominantly, most is in Arizona.

"Eeyore" is occasionally unsure on the concept of "basics." He's
generally harmless, like the old guy in the corner who wakes up,
shouts "What about '56, you arseholes?!" and then nods off again.


Nah, I'm only 54 next week silly.

I have a big bark but if you actually ask sensible questions, I'll help you
to the end of the earth.

I do have a problem with fuckwits though.
Really, How quaint!

You're a case in point.

Might have been better had you indictated your level of expertise in that
case.

Trust me, you get ppl who've been (allegedly) doing this 10 yrs or more
asking you to wipe their bottoms and it gets tedious.

If you can read a technical drawing you shouldn't have any trouble. Best
of all, get a sample part to confirm the dimensions and pinout.

Say, jackass, (not donkey), keep in mind that the topic here is "basics."
The OP asked a confusing question, but that's not a good reason to flex your
flabby muscles.

Actually, it's the best answer anyone has so far given, not least the idea of
getting a sample part to check form and fit.

And if you want to check my muscles out, you're more than welcome any time.
Even punks think twice before looking at me.

I'm sure one look would cause anyone to not want to look again.
Careful or you'll get me started on the 20-30 somethings I can still pull.
