If the question is "how can I do this in pcb", the answer is polygons. What I do is run traces to all the power/ground pins as if they were regular signals, then go back at the end and fill in all the empty space with polygons, which overlap their traces. The result looks like this: http://www.delorie.com/pcb/m3a/ (download board.pcb and look at the solder side) I found it easier if I assigned many layers to things, such as "solder side vcc traces" and "component side gnd polygons". Then, I could un-group them, shut off some of them, and do my routing. Then group them back together for DRC. You can also see an example of this at the SMD challenge page: http://www.delorie.com/pcb/smd-challenge/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
