by "all these things" i mean gschem and pcb. But do not worry, it's just the complaining of a newbie user. :)
I mean, if it's mandatory to have things named "J<N>", "R<N>", why none of gschem, gsch2pcb or pcb said me so? It's still weird for me, but i'm sure there is some reason for that, I just don't know it yet. Well, I'll try to finish my work now. Thank you very much guys, for you time and patience. 2006/11/8, John Luciani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I am not sure what you mean by "all these things". Your first problem occured because the gsch2pcb script places all of the components on top of each other. It would be nice if the script spaced the components out but you now know how to deal with that issue. Your second problem occured because you were not familiar with the reference designator syntax that PCB requires. If you follow the outline I posted you should be OK. You now should be able to proceed with your layout. Here are a couple of things to be careful of --- 1. Verify that the footprints you choose meet the manufacturer's package specification for the components you are using. Usually each component datasheet contains a recommended footprint. 2. Set the DRC rules to match the PCB vendor that you plan on using and run the DRC *frequently* as you are doing your board. It is much easier to fix the errors as you go than to end up with a huge list (which can be quite discouraging). 3. Always check the Gerber files prior to sending them to the PCB vendor. I use gerbv to do this.
