    take care that you use the "Pin Number" from the schematic symbol
    as the reference to create the pad designators in the footprint!

    Although the name is listed above the number of the pin, it is
    ONLY the number that Protel uses to link schematic symbols and
    footprints.
    There is NO WAY tho change this behaviour.
