how is lm_7805 footprint decided
sir,what if we are trying different circuits and then instead of lm_7805 i used lm555 timer.will the footprint be randomly chosen on basis of dimension.or there are any specific footprints for the subcircuits present and the one's we created

#### Answers:

if you are using lm555 IC, the footprint needs to be chosen on basis of the specs given in datasheet of the LM555 IC. A general 8-pin DIP package is available under Housings_DIP footprint library.

thanks for the reply,
so if we have to select footprint for lm555 based on specifications in datasheet.I made a subcircuit by myself which footprint to select for that.should i select based upon number of pins

yes. DIP_8_W10.16mm footprint from Housings_DIP
