Convert polygon to pad

Layout Footprints

You can make that extremely unintuitive. :slight_smile:
After a search for “Number box”, I fount this other thread: Turn shapes into a pad - #5 by paulvdh and managed to do it after a bit of reading and experimenting.

  1. Enter the Pad Edit Mode.
  2. Draw a graphical rectangle.
  3. Make sure Footprint Editor / View / Show Properties manager is on.
  4. Make sure the rectangle is selected.
  5. In the Properties Manager, turn on the check box for Number Box.
