Hello! I don't have Mentor PADS (I know they have a free viewer). Is there a mechanical drawing available that shows the location of the pin-headers on the PCB? My goal is to make a KiCad for the VoCore. Thanks!

That's perfect! Thanks for the quick reply. :D

I am curious, is there a reason you're using imperial units / mils and not millimeters for dimensions? I thought most of Asia (and the world) uses metric now, and only us Americans still use inches/mils?

I really want to use the metric system. :)
But PCB factory and all softwares are using imperial units... Too lazy to setting up. :D
