Stuart, Thanks for a very helpful response.
1. Although it's not (yet) mandatory, we usually suggest that footprints use .fp as a file suffix.
Yes, I saw the notes on gedasymbols.org, and also wrote to DJ asking him for a CVS upload account on his site. He hasn't yet gotten around to replying. I will change the filenames to conform to this standard sometime soon.
2. You may be interested in looking around our website for contributed footprints, symbols, and other materials: http://www.gedasymbols.org/
I've already begun. I wish there was a "footprint viewer" app which would just display one footprint file with variable mag, the way gerb does for gerbers. That way, I could quickly download and look at each footprint in detail. If wishes were horses... :)
A couple of other footprint links for you, in case you haven't found them yet: http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:pcb_tips http://www.luciani.org/geda/pcb/pcb-footprint-list.html
Thanks, I hadn't seen these. -- _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
