The one I'm using is the 20070208p1-1 version installed by Ubuntu which was taken from Debian. That one has the 50mil setting. I think I see how to change things for a custom .deb build. I modify src/pcb-menu.res and look for these two lines: { "25 mil" checked=gridsize,2500 SetUnits(mil) SetValue(Grid,2500)} {"100 mil" checked=gridsize,10000 SetUnits(mil) SetValue(Grid,10000)} Then I insert the correct code for 50 mils between those two. But I'm looking at the file from the Debian source for PCB that does include 50 mils, but that pcb-menu.res lacks a 50 mil clause as well. <scratches head> -- David Griffith [EMAIL PROTECTED] A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
