An update for the benefit of those reading this in the future who may want to do the same thing. Laying down individual track segments didn't work - pcb combined them up into one long track. However, issuing djopt(splitlines) after all the lines and vias had been laid down did work. After unlocking the segment to be deleted, I was then able, as suggested above, to delete a individual track segment to break the track in two. In order to make selecting the individual track segments easier, I also switched to Power sized tracks, and Signal sized vias. I get lots of DRC warnings, but the example circuit from the tutorial routed just fine when laid out on this veroboard layout. I used one of the signal layers to route any jumpers between vias on the different tracks, making sure I didn't hit any intermediate vias while routing the jumper. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions you offered, Simon. -- Simon Clubley [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
