When you load CPLD.new.pcb are you using "File->Load element data to paste-buffer", or "File->Load layout data to paste-buffer" ? It is easy to pick the wrong one from the menu. It sounds like you are using "load element data" rather than "load layout data" (* jcl *) -- http://www.luciani.org _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
