Wrong footprint attached to package TQFP-32

[Aethelstan]

Hi, I have a custom component that uses the IPC-7351 TQFP-32 package. However, when the board was manufactured, it was noticed that this package uses the incorrect footprint TSQFP, which is smaller than a TQFP. This is in the master database and has been noted on my lecturers master database as well as my own, so I believe this is an error in the shipped master database. I will remain vigilant for this kind of thing in the future, but how do I change the footprint in ultiboard for the current board? It seems I can edit what it is called in the attributes, but not actually change it.

In order to change the footprint for a component you must first copy it into your user database, as the master database can't be edited. This article goes over how to do this.

I'll also look into the error and let the relevant people know.
