Default Mechanical Layers

0

Hello,

I'd like to know, is there (or any plan for) a possibility to change/specify the default mechanical layers?
Your footprints are usable and they are great - but always need a preprocessing stage at here at ePiccolo Engineering.
For example, we always use layer 4-5 as the courtyard and layer 6-7 as the designator layers. Your default layers don't match to this convention so we download your footprints and then we need to alter them, I was hoping for a quick way to avoid this and to streamline the pcb design process.

Thank you
Guy
