Hmmm - glad to hear this - however 672 pins is quite a bit more than
yours. Do you think I will manage to create a symbol for the part that
still fit's on the screen?

Unfortunately not. The licenses I got with 4.09something I does not
run with 4.15. Well, I don't mind to pay the fee (~200 euros if I
