Step 10: Fix incorrect package
You can see how the design rule change has already modified the board. Pads are bigger, and they're all round.
You'll also notice that one of the resistors is set as a non-vertical package, unlike the rest. This was probably an error in the schematic entry, and it didn't matter when all we had was the schematic. Now that we are making the board, we want to change the package as appropriate.
When you select the change->package tool and click on the part to change, you'll be shown a list of all the legal packages for that part (these should be the same ones that showed up in the schematic "add" dialog)
There are other ways to enter a "change" command in the text command entry area that you'll want to look into if you need to change a lot of devices to a particular package, so you can skip going through the list for each one. Something like "change package 'R-US/0207/2V', and then just click on each component.
