posibility to support 2-footprint parts ??

[Vatorinator]

The footprint polulated by Raspberry (contained in the cmio board files) contains 2 times DF40C-100DS-0.4V (LCSC C597931).
Actually i add manually in the BOM/CPL (delta between the 2 Parts is 39,9 mm) this works
Question: is there the possibility to "automate" this via JLCKicadTools ???
I attach a picture of the footprint

I don't think that's possible in KiCad's architecture unfortunately. Each symbol is associated with one footprint, and each footprint is exported as one placement entry I believe.

To do this within JLCKicadTools one option would be to add another custom field that allows specifying additional part placements in some way. It's not easy though, and I'm not likely to have time to implement that in the near future. Contributions are of course welcome.

Personally I would just add them as two symbols+footprints. One of the footprints can have the board outline and some kind of an alignment marking to help aligning the second connector.

thanx a lot for commenting this and i will try out your suggestion.
sorry python is not my world so i can't contribute

so i mark this as "closed"
