?? OK, I'm still under-caffeinated, but I don't parse your question. I'm guessing you missed my initial rant? What I was trying to do is create an oblong pin to ease hand soldering. So I created a pad overlapping a pin to create the desired shape. The whole effort foundered because pcb won't create thermals on the resulting oblong pins -- pcb give the pin a thermal flag, but the thermal doesn't render because of the overlapping pad. -dave _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
