In PCB is there a way to get a sum of all of the component footprint/silk areas, so that the sum can be compared to the available board surface area?
Board surface needs to account for any keep-outs where components can not be place. May or may not want to count both sides of the board. Boss is telling me to put 230 parts on a board that I think I can put 175. That is not even accounting for space for actual traces and vias. I'm looking for object numbers to inflict on him. This happens often enough that I want it to be an automated process. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
