Thanks super, John, DJ & Harry! Question: during my last install, I just used yum on Fedora to install gEDA. Would the December changes appear on a yum update? If not, can I just overwrite my current pcb executable with that from the current snapshot, or is there more to do? Many, many thanks, Craig

This is normally done in the netlist file. The format is: netname [stylename] elname-pinnum elname2-pinnum ... where [] means an optional entry. You can manually edit your netlist file to add styles to each net. The autorouter honors each net's style including thickness, via characteristics and keepaway. > 2.

I introduced the bug that caused the fail to connect some time back, but it fixed it in December. The latest snapshot release should never go almost all the way but fail to connect. It should leave a lot fewer nubbins (perhaps none) as well. DJ's optimizer might be able to automatically remove the nubbins. ____________________________________________________________________________________ It's here! Your new message!
