"Getting Started with PCB" has a list of terms. I have a copy online here: http://www.delorie.com/pcb/docs/gs/gs.html#Terminology footprint A footprint is the pattern on a circuit board to which your parts are attached. This includes all copper, silk, solder mask, and paste information. In other EDA programs, this may be referred to as a “land pattern”. “Footprint” sometimes is used to refer to a footprint file. “Footprint” refers to the pattern; “element” refers to the instance. For example, your layout might have four elements that use one footprint. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
