Change an arduino board layout

Hello, I have designed a board based around an Arduino Mega shield. The new board is larger than the shield, so I must find a way to remove the outline in the shield template U1. Otherwise, it will leave me with two outlines which is not acceptable. How do I remove the Arduino outline? It seems to be a part of the U1 footprint. Thanks! /Jonas ![Circuit board][1] [1]: /editor/20160713/57854d737c726.png

Hi /Jonas, The easiest thing to do is to do a **SHIFT+F** search for the `ARDUINO_MEGA-PRO-3.3V` PCB footprint (package) and the click on the **Edit** button. That will open the footprint in the PCB Libs editor where you can either delete the lines and curved corners of the board outline or move them all onto the top silk layer. ![enter image description here][1] Then give the package a new name (for example `MY_ARDUINO_MEGA-PRO-3.3V`) and save it, with the new name, to `My Parts`. When you do this the new package will automatically become publically available so please add a suitable, clear description of what the footprint is and why it has no outline or is different from the original package. Next, change the package assigned to U1, the `ARDUINO_MEGA`, in your schematic from `ARDUINO_MEGA-PRO-3.3V` to `MY_ARDUINO_MEGA-PRO-3.3V`. Then go to your PCB design and do **Import changes...** That should swap out the old packge with a PCB outline for your new one. [1]: /editor/20160713/57856c39609a2.png
