+Cursed Footprints
+=================
+
+Complicated footprints, such as this `QFN <https://www.vishay.com/docs/75921/sic437.pdf>`_
+can sometimes be challenging to draw, so here are some tips and tricks
+to make your life easier.
+
+Import the drawing
+-------------------
+
+Even though technical drawings are sometimes not to scale, there's a 
+good chance that they are, so it's worth trying to convert the drawing 
+to a bitmap image and import it using the "Place picture" tool. In this 
+particular case, I had to slightly adjust the aspect ratio for the 
+dimensions to be as specified in the drawing. While it's not 
+recommended to eyeball coordinates based on a bitmap image, it's a good 
+way to verify that one has correctly reproduced the drawing.
+
+Converting polygon to pads
+--------------------------
+
+For pads that require custom polygonal padstacks, draw the copper layer 
+as a polygon and then use the "Convert to Pad" tool to convert the 
+polygon into a pad. 
+
+Snap to pad corners
+-------------------
+
+Often times, dimensions are specified between pad corners rather than 
+pad centers. To simplify measuring and setting the distance between pad 
+corners, enable the "Snap to pad corners" option in the "View & 
+Selection" menu.
