why is the width of the gpib component wider than z80%2Cpio%2Cscsi.components foot print in ultiboard when the foot print used is the same one.

WHY IS outline of component for gpib wider than outline of components of Z80, PIO,SCSI WHEN SAME FOOT PRINT IS USED FOR ALL ULTIBOARD COMPONENTS MENTIONED.  COULDN'T SEND BOARD LAYOUT BECAUSE OF INVALID EXT BUT AM SENDING YOU THE MULTISIM CKT. DESIGN THAT YOU CAN MAKE THE BOARD LAYOUT IN ULTIBOARD.  YOU WILL SEE WHAR I MEAN ABOUT THE COMPONENT OUTLINE ON GPIB COMPONENT.

Hi Richard,

The Z80 symbol thickness doesn't have anything to do with the layout, when you created this symbol, you used a one pixel pen to draw the outline while the GPIB symbols you use the default pen which is smaller. To change the pen width in the symbol if you want your schematic to have the same outline and to do this, double click the Z80>>Edit component in db>>Symbol tab>>Edit. In the symbol editor, click the 1 Layer Drawing taband under the Pen Width column, select Not Saleable.

The footprint for the GPIB is a DIP40 while the other parts you mentioned are N40 footprint.  You can change GPIB footprint by double-click on the part>>Edit Footprint.
