protel footprint -> DSUB HD 15 pin (VGA) right angle

[Mike]

Hi, all:

I couldn't find in the lib, is it in protel DXP 2004? or I have to make
it by myself?

thanks

Mike,
There are so many minor variations of those footprints that
even if there was one in the library, chances are it would not
quite fit the part that you want it to.

The sooner you become familiar with making your own the
better. Sometimes it is faster to make one than it is to search
the libraries for existing parts. And there is nothing saying
that the standard library parts are right, there are many known
errors in the Protel standard libraries. Not the least of which
is that many through-hole part's pads have very small hole sizes.
