I hereby certify that I am not simply asking someone else to design a footprint for me.
^^^LOL …
I have a project where I had 3, out of 6 connectors , with ~95 total parts on the PCB, refuse to just stay in place.
I had to keep existing footprints when doing the update so I could properly swap in and place the footprints.
I tried updating the footprints before the update, but that tactic did not work.
I did not try using CvPcb, because the footprint was defined in the symbol.
I have completely revamped my library system and file locations, but the other 92 behaving parts were also part of this change.
