Is there a way to change the size and shape of all or multiple pads in a footprint in the same way?

eg make all bigger or smaller, or set all to a new size?

I often realise when making a part that I’ve made pads or holes the wrong size and it is very laborious changing many pads individually if it is for a part with 20+ pins!

Yes there is: Change the size on one pad. Then select it and copy it to clipboard. Then select all the other pads and paste. It will apply all properties (except position) from the copied pad.

great that works! I was concerned it would also copy pin number as if I had copied and pasted the whole pad, but it it doesn’t change the pin numbers, thankfully.
