Moving primitives in footprint easily?

The only way, actually two ways, involve unsetting the pad’s own Locked property. Then it’s possible to change the coordinates of the pad directly, or to use Special Tools → Move Exactly

The third way is to:

  • check option “Allow free Pads” in general Prefeences–>PCB Editor–>Editiing Options
  • after that it’s possible to move any pad freely (and independend from the footprint) around.
