Make a footprint with a pad designed as shown in the screenshot above. 2. Close the Properties dialog using the "OK" button. 3. Select the pad and open the Properties dialog again. The Y dimension as shown in he dialog has changed to 2.2, and in the dialog preview the rectangular base has a square shape. 4. Change the Y dimension back to 1.2 mm and close the Properties dialog with the "OK" button. The rectangular base is still shown as with less height than width, as intended. 5. Save the footprint and close the footprint editor. 6. Open the footprint editor, select the footprint in the library and edit it. The rectangular base has now changed to square with both X and Y 2.2 mm {width="437" height="514"} 7. Close the footprint editor without saving (i.e. when it was last saved, the base pad had the correct shape). 8. Use the footprint in a PCB design. In the PCB editor, the base pad is square. 9. Perform DRC. You get warnings as shown.  # KiCad Version ``` Application: KiCad Footprint Editor x64 on x64 Version: 9.0.0, release build Libraries: wxWidgets 3.2.6 FreeType 2.13.3 HarfBuzz 10.2.0 FontConfig 2.15.0 libcurl/8.11.1-DEV Schannel zlib/1.3.1 Platform: Windows 10 (build 19045), 64-bit edition, 64 bit, Little endian, wxMSW OpenGL: Intel, Intel(R) HD Graphics 530, 4.5.0 - Build 22.20.16.4836 Build Info: Date: Feb 19 2025 17:46:53 wxWidgets: 3.2.6 (wchar_t,wx containers) Boost: 1.86.0 OCC: 7.8.1 Curl: 8.11.1-DEV ngspice: 44 Compiler: Visual C++ 1942 without C++ ABI KICAD_IPC_API=ON Locale: Lang: en_GB Enc: UTF-8 Num: 1,234.5 Encoded кΩ丈: D0BACEA9E4B888 (sys), D0BACEA9E4B888 (utf8) ```
