Orson,

I noticed that you included an alignment tool.  Is this tool only
available in the footprint editor?  I would find an alignment tool
equally useful in the board editor.  I'm guessing that the tools are
reusable so it should not be too difficult to add the alignment tool to
the board editor.  Everything else looks great.

Cheers,

Wayne
