Well OK, mine is a dirty solution, but I made it using a few holes close to each other, about <1/3 diameter distance. My problem with the huge holes, that it is a waste of solder and lower mechanical reliability. /sza2 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
