Ahhh. I see T0220 is what i should have used.
What i did was change the LM78xx footprint in the module editor
and saved under my own library.
Kida confusing when my part was a LM7805, so i figured the footprint would be
the same, or close i.e. LM78xx.
I now know better.
MMM. i wonder should i go back and change it to the T0220, or is ok
to leave with one i changed in the editor?

Thanks agian.
