I have asked Steve Gregory to post a picture of the foot print problems that 
I have been having on his web site. The Diode D116 pin 1 is represented by a 
white dot which is also the anode. I tried to tell the designers that the 
bar on the silk screen represents the cathode they would not listen so I 
wound up with major rework to correct all the misplaced (reversed) 
components. I was just call to the production line for yet another problem 
with F31 again footprint problems. This is why I asked the question if there 
exist a standard for creation of component foot prints. I do appreaciate all 
of your replies some have been most enlightening and will be passing this 
information along to the boards designers.
