Hi, this is a nice idea :)

I have made a script allong the same way to change all refferences of 
components in a .brd to a single size.

It would be a good idea to have all of these kind of utilities in a 
single program!

- fewer drill sizes,
- single/fewer text sizes
- minimum/fewer line size on silk (some manufacturers specify minimum)

Here is the script, it is a single line shell script...

awk '{ if ($0 ~ /^T0/) {print 
$1,$2,$3,"300","300",$6,"80",$8,$9,$10,$11} else {print} }' Test.brd > 
Test.brd
