Issue in Textool Sockets? #5

Closed jbtronics closed 7 years ago

jbtronics commented 8 years ago

Why do all textool sockets have irregular Pin distances? Is this desired or an Issue?

CarlPoirier commented 8 years ago

Hi,

Can you be more specific? Which footprint is concerned? I checked one and the pins are spaced 2.54mm apart which is normal.

@jbtronics I took a look at this. I'm really not sure what the problem is either. Can you add some details?

It looks like the product page for these sockets is at http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Interconnect/Home/Products/ProductCat/~?N=8705116&rt=r3&Nao=0, and while I haven't used them before and aren't so familiar I don't see any part families that fit these footprints.

I do see something that's odd, but it's about pad size and not pad distance: image

It seems the X and Y dimensions have have been converted from another unit system or are using excessive resolution. At any rate, that's odd but not necessarily a problem with using these footprints.

I'll leave this issue open for 2 days in case you want to respond or clarify the problem. If there's no comment I'll close this issue.

@CarlPoirier @SchrodingersGat @jkriege2 Last chance. I'm closing this case tomorrow if there are no comments here.
