Changing a 10-pin 1.27 mm pitch Header to 6-pin only requires that you remove 2.54 mm from the body length and delete the end pins and then re-order the pins 1 - 6.

Moving the origin around does not help much when doing this.

You can move the origin around when building a brand new part or editing an existing part, but not recommended for copying and changing an existing part.

Thanks!

I've run into this issue in the past also ... is it safe to say it cannot be done?

It is FP Designer ... not a standard header ... it's a Tag-Connect TC2050 10-pin debug cable mating SMD connector.  I wanted to create the TC2030 6-pin version which needs the origin moved 1.27mm to the left and the last 4 pins dropped.]]> Tue, 30 May 2017 12:38:42 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/move-body-origin_topic2155_post8921.html#8921 <![CDATA[Move Body Origin : Are you using the Calculator or...]]> https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/move-body-origin_topic2155_post8920.html#8920 Author: Tom H

Are you using the Calculator or FP Designer?

If it's a symmetrical Shrouded, Post or Receptacle Header you should use the Calculator.

Can you provide the Datasheet URL?

I am copying a 10-pin header and creating a 6-pin header.  I can move the origin to the new centroid but the body always generates form the "original" origin of the 10-pin.  How can I move the origin that the body uses to generate the assembly/legend/body outlines?]]> Tue, 30 May 2017 12:18:48 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/move-body-origin_topic2155_post8919.html#8919
