If there is no symbol at www.gedasymbols.org I would suggest making a new one, maybe with tragesym. http://www.geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:tragesym_tutorial Please note, you do not need a spreadsheet program, a plain editor works fine.

Hvezda / July 6th, 2004 Well, old documents may be fine. But people may think: Documentation is from 2004, so there seems not much progress in the last 6 years. At least this is not very good promotion. We may include DJ's fine, more recent tutorial in the list: http://www.delorie.com/pcb/docs/gs/gs.html Maybe we should have something like "Getting Started" at gpleda.org, with a few links to the most basic beginners documentation? _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
