Steve,

We had a copy of orcad (not used) and when we looked at a pattern, it had
the same rectangle every 10 pads.  Our guess was it would make counting
pins easier.  It looks exaggerated on your older version of gc prevue.

We have never had a design that used this software, so we have never had to
deal with the problem.

I would guess the designer could edit his package library and eliminate
this problem.
